A few questions to consider as you study…
- Why do you think God uses unlikely people in His story of redemption? How does that encourage you regarding your ability to be used by God?
- Has there been a time when you have struggled to trust God’s promises or His timing? Write out a prayer asking God to strengthen your faith.
