Ruths first husband died, but instead of returning to her own country and people she decided to stay with Naomi, her mother in law. She met Boaz and fell in love with him and it was around this time she told Naomi "Your God will be my God". She has seen what God had done for the people and so accepted Him as the God she should worship.

How did Naomi interact with God?

Naomi was of the people of Israel and as such was one of God's chosen people, and though she initially mourned and bewailed her fate at the hands of God when God took away her husband and two sons; her daughter-in-law, Ruth, brought her comfort and God's blessing when she married Boaz and brought up Ruth's son, Obed.

Deuteronomy 10:17-19 states, For the Lord your God is God of gods, and Lord of lords, a great God, mighty and awesome, who does not show favoritism, nor take bribes. He does justice for the fatherless and widow, and loves the stranger, in giving him food and raiment. You shall therefore love the stranger: for you were strangers in the land of Egypt.
