VI. Reflection
When have you tried to run away from the Lord? How has He brought you back to Himself? What price, if any, did you pay for your disobedience?
When are you reluctant to carry out God’s agenda of mercy and compassion? What people or groups of people cause you to react with a judgmental spirit?
How are you displaying a genuine fear of the Lord in your life?
