2 Digest

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

1. What does this show me about God?

   • God calls a child by name, four times, until he answers. What does that tell you about God?

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

   • Samuel does not recognise the voice at first and needs Eli to help him. Who helps you understand God?

3. What will I obey this week?

   • When will you be quiet this week and say, "speak, I am listening"?

4. Who will I tell?

   • Who could you help to listen for God, the way Eli helped Samuel?

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).
