2 Digest

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

1. What does this show me about God?

   • God had already promised this family a future. Did Jacob need to lie to get it?

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

   • Jacob's mother helped him do it. What happens when a grown-up tells you that a lie is fine just this once?

3. What will I obey this week?

   • What do you want so badly right now that you would be tempted to cheat for it? What will you do instead?

4. Who will I tell?

   • Who is about to do something they will regret? What could you say?

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).
