How often are we tempted to think, like Simon, that we might know better than God? Will we trust our "logic" or trust our Lord?

For Reflection:

- Why do you imagine that Peter reacted with shame (v8)?

- How do you typically respond when you become aware of your own sin or inadequacy?

- Where might Jesus be asking you to trust and obey, even when it doesn’t make sense to you?

- How does the healing of the leper shape your understanding of Jesus’ power and compassion?

- Prayer: Lord Jesus, help me trust you to lead me, that I might follow you with a willing heart.
