Ruth Chapter 3

The Counsel (Ruth 3:1-4)
The Compliance (Ruth 3:5-7)
The Consequence (Ruth 3:8-18)

There are things we can learn regarding our behaviour when we come into the presence of the Lord Jesus Christ from Ruth being in the presence of Boaz:
The preparation to enter into the presence (Ruth 3:3)
The punctuality when entering into the presence (Ruth 3:3)
The place when entered into the presence (Ruth 3:4)
The purity when enjoying the presence (Ruth 3:5-14)
The provision from entering into the presence (Ruth 3:15-17)
The promise when exiting the presence (Ruth 3:18)

Two items of clothing found in the chapter:
Boaz's 'skirt' (Ruth 3:9) - speaks of protection, promise, possesion (cf. Ezekiel 16:8)
Ruth's shawl (Ruth 3:15) - speaks of provision
