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

1. What does this show me about God?

   • David says he wants to show "God's kindness" to somebody. What kind of kindness is that?

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

   • Mephibosheth calls himself a dead dog and ends up eating with the king every day. What does kindness do to how a person sees themselves?

3. What will I obey this week?

   • Who eats alone, or plays alone? What will you do this week?

4. Who will I tell?

   • Who could you invite to sit with you — and when?

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).
