2 Digest

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

1. What does this passage show me about God?

   • What does the righteous person do for their animals, and what happens to the field of the lazy man?

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

   • Which part of your work have you been letting slide — an animal, a field, a fence, a debt?

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

   • What will you do this week to know the condition of your animals or your fields — and on what day?

4. Who will I tell?

   • Who could you walk through your fields with, so they can tell you honestly what they see?

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).
