Digest

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

  1. What does this show me about God?

    • The river only stops once the priests' feet touch the water. What does that show you about how God works?

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

    • They had to step in before anything happened. What does obeying look like before you can see the result?

  3. What will I obey this week?

    • What is one thing you will start this week without knowing how it ends?

  4. Who will I tell?

    • Who could you tell about a time you obeyed God before you understood it?

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 water did not stop until their feet were already wet. Thank you for the times you go first. Help me step even when I cannot see how it will work.
