2 Digest

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

1. What does this show me about God?

   • God shakes the prison open and nobody runs. What does that tell you about what God was actually doing there?

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

   • They sang before anything got better, and the other prisoners were listening. Who hears you when things go wrong for you?

3. What will I obey this week?

   • What will you thank God for this week in the middle of something hard?

4. Who will I tell?

   • The jailer asked what he must do to be saved. Who might be watching you and wondering the same?

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).
