1. What does this show me about God?

   • Jesus is indignant with the disciples and takes the children in his arms. What is Jesus like?

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

   • The disciples were shooing away the people they thought did not matter. Who gets shooed away where you are?

3. What will I obey this week?

   • Who is younger, smaller, or newer than you? What will you do for them this week?

4. Who will I tell?

   • Who is being left out right now? What will you do about it today?

Growth is God's part, not yours. Do the cycle faithfully and trust Him to give the growth (1 Corinthians 3:6–7).
