- Which one will you obey on purpose this week?
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, you rescued your people first and gave them your rules afterwards. Thank you that your rules come from love. Help me want to obey them.
