Living Well – Human Virtue and God’s Hidden Agency
Living Well – Human Virtue and God’s Hidden Agency
Guest Speaker: Joel Russell-MacLean
God does not speak audibly within this story. No angels appear. There are no miracles. Only twice are we told that God acts. God’s “hidden causality” is the experience of many if not most believers. Ruth and Boaz are examples of choosing to do what is right at a personal cost while trusting that God is at work even though God remains unseen and unheard. As Eugene Peterson observes, as we live in this way, we find that “the providence of God appears under the forms of ordinary personal encounters.”
