God's Guide to Living
Week 1 - Be Humble
Read 2 Corinthians 3:4-6
Under Paul's influence the church at Corinth had experienced a great deal of growth numerically and spiritually. Yet in the midst of all this success he points out that he himself was not competent enough to be responsible for what had happened. Instead, his ability came from God.
· What do you believe helped Paul recognize that what happened was beyond his own ability?
· Paul is just one of a long list of individuals who would not have been competent to do the task they were called to perform. What does this tell you about the nature of God? What does this tell you about how God views us?
· Why is it so difficult to follow through when we feel God calling us to step out in faith?
· What are some instances in your life where you have not felt qualified to do what God has asked?
· What is it that God is calling you to do today? And what's keeping you from doing it?
· Pray for God to give you strength to trust in Him regardless of what He asks. If you're not sure what God is asking from you, pray for guidance and willingness to follow, regardless of what He may ask.
