What does this show me about God?
- God is good to the midwives who disobeyed a king to keep babies alive. What does that tell you about what God cares about?
What does it show me about people — and about me?
- The most powerful man in the country is frightened of people he could crush. What does being afraid make people do?
What will I obey this week?
- What is one right thing you will do this week even if somebody tells you not to?
Who will I tell?

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, the midwives were more afraid of you than of the king, and you were good to them. Help me do the right thing even when somebody bigger tells me not to.
