Digest

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

  1. What does this passage show me about God?

    • What does Jehoshaphat do when the armies come, and who actually wins the battle?
  2. What does it show me about people — and about myself?

    • What part of planting feels like a vast army you have no power to face?
  3. What will I obey this week? (a concrete step, with a day)

    • What impossible obstacle to planting will you bring to God this week in fasting and prayer instead of trying to solve it yourself?
  4. Who will I tell?

    • Whom will you gather — as Judah gathered — to seek the Lord together over the new work?

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

God, like Jehoshaphat I do not know what to do, but my eyes are on you. Fight for this new church before we ever sing the victory.
