decide what topic or topics it most addresses. Then make a list of all the

Which of these topics, if any, would you consider to be the most prominent in
this chapter? Which would you consider to be most important?

CAPTURE THE
ESSENCE

believe are the most important truths revealed about God's character and
personality in verses 1-3, and also in 30-31.

FOR LIFE
TODAY

3.   Look again at verse 3. In light of the principle
given here, and the way God is working in your life, what specific actions on your part in the immediate
future do you think would be most pleasing and acceptable to Him?

illustrate those points?
