Digest

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

  1. What does this show me about God?

    • The servant prays, and God answers before he has even finished. What does that tell you about God listening?

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

    • Rebekah waters ten camels for a stranger nobody made her help. What does that show about kindness?

  3. What will I obey this week?

    • What is one job this week you will pray about before you start it?

  4. Who will I tell?

    • Who could you help this week the way Rebekah helped — more than anybody asked you 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

God, the servant prayed before he did anything, and you answered while he was still praying. Thank you for listening to me. Help me pray first instead of last.
