  1. What does this passage show me about God?

    • What does this story show you about what God pays attention to?

Grow

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

Pray

Lord, You see what nobody's looking at. Where I feel skipped, help me trust that You know exactly where I am.
