Digest

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

  1. What does this show me about God?

    • She wanted nothing in return, and God gave her the thing she had stopped hoping for. What is God like?
  2. What does it show me about people — and about me?

    • She noticed a need nobody had mentioned to her. How do you learn to see what people need?
  3. What will I obey this week?

    • What have you noticed that somebody needs? What will you do about it this week?
  4. Who will I tell?

    • Who visits your home or class and does not feel at home? How could you change that?

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, this woman noticed that Elisha kept passing through with nowhere to stay, and built him a room. Help me notice what people actually need.
