2 Digest

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

1. What does this show me about God?

   • Boaz protects and feeds a foreign woman he does not have to help. What does that show you about God, who is like that?

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

   • Ruth was working in the hardest, lowest job there was. How do people usually treat somebody in that position?

3. What will I obey this week?

   • Who will you go out of your way to be kind to this week?

4. Who will I tell?

   • Who is new, or left out, where you are? What is one thing you will do for them?

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).
