Monday
Application Questions:
- How does the 'comparison trap' affect your spiritual life, and what steps can you take to focus more on God's view of you rather than comparing yourself to others?What does it mean to 'work as if it depends on you, but pray as if it depends on God,' and how can we balance these two aspects in our lives?
- In what ways have you experienced true strength through weakness, as Paul describes in his 'real resume'?
- How can we cultivate authenticity and vulnerability in our church community while still maintaining appropriate boundaries?
- What does it mean to you personally to 'boast in your weaknesses', and how might this change your approach to challenges?
- How does the paradox of finding strength in surrender challenge our cultural notions of power and success?
