What does this passage show me about God?

What does it show me about people — and about myself?
- Where have you left when staying got costly?
What will I obey this week? (a concrete step, with a day)

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
Jesus, the men had run and the women were still watching, and they saw where you were laid. Make us that kind of faithful when it costs and there is nothing to gain.
