Questions & Discussions:
1. Have you ever been in a situation that looked like a coincidence or “happened to be” circumstance but actually turned out to be a part of God’s plan or under God’s orchestration? Would you like to share and explain how you finally realized it did not happen coincidentally?
2. Does the Bible really tell us that God rewards His people for their good deeds? How is that different from most of the other religions that teach people to do good deeds in order to earn good rewards from their gods? Do God also reward non-believers for their good deeds?
3. What would be your answer if Ruth had asked you the same question “Why have I found favor in your eyes?”
