The gift of conception

Ruth 4 tells how Boaz and Ruth were married and came together as God intended to create a child. Theirs wasn’t an unusual situation. Ruth wasn’t beyond childbearing years like Sarah or Elizabeth. She wasn’t a virgin like Mary. While God’s Word tells us that Ruth and Boaz went through the biological process necessary to create a child, “The Lord gave her conception” (Ruth 4:13b).
