2 Digest

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

1. What does this show me about God?

   • Jesus looks at the crowd and has compassion because they are like sheep without a shepherd. What does Jesus feel?

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

   • The disciples say send them away; Jesus says you feed them. Why does he give the job to them?

3. What will I obey this week?

   • What little thing do you have that God could use? Who will you give it to this week?

4. Who will I tell?

   • Who is going hungry — for food, or for a friend? What will you do?

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).
