What does this show me about God?
- God already has a plan for Saul that Ananias knows nothing about. What does that tell you about God?
What does it show me about people — and about me?
- The first thing Ananias calls Saul is "brother." Why do you think that mattered so much?
What will I obey this week?
- What is something God wants you to do that you have been scared to do? When will you do it 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, Ananias was scared of Saul, and he told you so — and then he went. Thank you that I can tell you when I am afraid. Help me obey you even when I'm scared.
