Then said Boaz unto his servant that was set over the reapers, Whose damsel is this?
The enquiry of Boaz so immediately concerning Ruth, may serve to teach us how very early the eye of Jesus is upon airy and every poor stranger that comes under the ministry of his word, to glean instruction in the fields of salvation. Yes! Reader, depend upon it, however any poor sinner may fancy himself overlooked, unnoticed, or unknown, his case, as well as his person, become the immediate object of attention in the view of Jesus. How doth the Lord wait to be gracious; and even before his people call, to answer. Isaiah 30:18 and Isaiah 65:24.
