2 Digest

Answer from what the passage actually says — stay in the text.

1. What does this passage show me about God?

   • Jesus says Mary chose the better part. What exactly did she choose — what is she actually doing?

2. What does it show me about people — and about myself?

   • Martha's work was good work. What does this show you about how good things crowd out the best one — and what's crowding yours?

3. What will I obey this week? (a concrete step, with a day)

   • Where in your actual week will you sit down at Jesus' feet? Name the time and the place.

4. Who will I tell?

   • Who do you know who's too busy to breathe?

3 Grow

Growth is God's part, not yours. Do the cycle faithfully and trust Him to give the growth (1 Corinthians 3:6–7).
