Ruth 4:9-10 (KJV)
And Boaz said unto the elders, and unto all the people, Ye are witnesses this day, that I have bought all that was Elimelech’s, and all that was Chilion’s and Mahlon’s, of the hand of Naomi. Moreover Ruth the Moabitess, the wife of Mahlon, have I purchased to be my wife, to raise up the name of the dead upon his inheritance, that the name of the dead be not cut off from among his brethren, and from the gate of his place: ye are witnesses this day.

Just an observation, the context of this whole book is raising up a seed for the dead. It was a law God had established generations before this and it is an important picture of the work of Jesus Christ. He, as our nearest kin, paid our debt and secured for us an eternal inheritance.

It is the name of Boaz that is preserved in the Word of God and it is from Boaz the Bible says comes David and more significantly, Jesus. The other kinsmen didn’t redeem Ruth lest he mars his own inheritance. We know his worries were unsubstantiated.

So too, our own worries are without foundation. Far too often we worry about things we need not. Really the only thing we ought to concern ourselves with is whether a thing is in the will of God as prescribed in the Word of God.

Everything else just works out.
