2 Digest

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

1. What does this passage show me about God?

   • The twelve spies all saw the same land — how does the report of the ten differ from what Caleb and Joshua say?

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

   • When you look at what's ahead of you, do you sound more like the ten spies or like Caleb — and why?

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

   • Where will you say with Caleb this week, 'we can certainly do it,' because God is with you?

4. Who will I tell?

   • Who near you is being talked out of something good by fear, and how could you encourage them the way Caleb did?

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).
