Answer from what the passage actually says — stay in the text.
What does this show me about God?
- Elisha knew what had happened even though he was not there. What does that show about how much stays hidden from God?
What does it show me about people — and about me?
- Gehazi tells one lie to get the gifts and another to cover the first. Why does one lie almost always need a second?
What will I obey this week?
- Is there anything you have that you should not have? What will you do about it this week?
Who will I tell?
- Who needs to hear that hiding something is more expensive than it looks?
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, Gehazi got the presents and lost everything else. Help me want a clean heart more than I want stuff.
