Passage: 1 Kings 20
After reading, we were both a bit confused as to what happened in the story, so, we went back to analyze what happened. After doing so, we shared what we learned.
I learned that we should always follow through exactly what God tells us to do and not try to change things according to our understanding. I also brought up how I thought it kind of ties to what I learned from the service yesterday. Abraham did not believe that God would come through in giving him a child, so he tried to do it himself. As a result, Ishmael was born. However, God was unable to use Ishmael because he was created through fleshly efforts. In this sense, I learned that God is very strict about us following his ways. He wants us to trust him and do exactly as he tells us, even if we may not understand the situation.
Kanami shared about how she thought that it was interesting how God still chose to use Ahab, a bad king. From this, she understood that 1) God will/can use anyone and 2) God will always try to give everyone a chance to turn to him.
