Digest

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

  1. What does this passage show me about God?

    • What does Jesus point to in the fields to show what the Father is like, and what does he tell us to seek first?

  2. What does it show me about people — and about myself, my work and my land?

    • What are you most anxious about this season — rain, prices, debt, the next harvest — and what is that worry doing to you?

  3. What will I obey this week, at home and on my land? (a concrete step, with a day)

    • What is one worry you will hand to God this week, and what will you do differently on that day because you did?

  4. Who will I tell?

    • Who do you know who is sick with worry about their crops or their family?

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

Father, you feed the birds who never sow, and you clothe the lilies of the field. You know what we need. Free us from the worry that eats at us before the harvest, and teach us to seek your kingdom first.
