Reflection

The lesson this week focused on Jesus’ compassion as seen in his interaction with a lame man. The lesson concluded with this challenge: Recall and describe a time when you treated someone with God-led compassion. How did that experience affect you? How did the other person respond?

Why is God’s compassion such an important character quality for us to know and experience?

In “Fix Your Eyes on Jesus,” Beth Yoe wrote:

Just because we are smack dab in the middle of a great turbulence does not for one second mean that we are not smack dab in the center His will … Is our focus on the wind and turbulence of our circumstances or on the wisdom and truth of Jesus Christ?

How would you typically answer that question?

What steps do you need to take to make your first response to focus on the truth of Jesus?

Yesterday, Beth Yoe wrote in “Praise God!”:

Faith comes in believing what God says is true. It is trusting that He has our best interest at heart and that His ways work out to our advantage in the end. This is not to say that our paths will be easy or painless but they will always accomplish God’s good work in us. We can trust Him.

What in your life do you need to trust Jesus in today?
