When God is at work we have know idea where the blessing may go. Boaz did not marry Ruth to become part of the lineage of Christ. He had no idea. When we talk to someone and share the message of salvation we have no idea what God may do with that individuals. The individual that witnessed to David Jeremiah, or D. L. Moody never knew what God was planning and we should never assume that God will make that individual great but neither should we limit what God may choose to do either.
Ruth 4:13-22
13 So Boaz took Ruth, and she became his wife, and he went in to her. And the Lord enabled her to conceive, and she gave birth to a son. 14 Then the women said to Naomi, "Blessed is the Lord who has not left you without a redeemer today, and may his name become famous in Israel. 15 "May he also be to you a restorer of life and a sustainer of your old age; for your daughter-in-law, who loves you and is better to you than seven sons, has given birth to him." 16 Then Naomi took the child and laid him in her lap, and became his nurse. 17 The neighbor women gave him a name, saying, "A son has been born to Naomi!" So they named him Obed. He is the father of Jesse, the father of David. 18 Now these are the generations of Perez: to Perez was born Hezron, 19 and to Hezron was born Ram, and to Ram, Amminadab, 20 and to Amminadab was born Nahshon, and to Nahshon, Salmon, 21 and to Salmon was born Boaz, and to Boaz, Obed, 22 and to Obed was born Jesse, and to Jesse, David. NASU
Do what ever God commands of you and let Him work out the details of that obedience.
