Week #6 Study Questions

Abishai (1 Chronicles 11:20-21; 2 Samuel 23:18-19)

1. Abishai is outnumbered 300 to 1, but still achieve victory (1 Chronicles 11:20). Do you tend to be more positive ("I can beat this thing") or negative (Oh, woe is me") when the odds are against you?

2. Do you know anyone who needs to be the top dog in everything and has a hard time outside the spotlight/behind the scenes?

3. Consider the following thought process. Wrap your mind around it to see if you agree or disagree: "Jealousy is really a sin of mistrust in the sovereignty/rulership of God. Someone who's jealous is basically saying that God has made a mistake and is actually withholding something that really ought to be his (whether position, power, prestige or person)."

4. Abishai mistakenly believes that God has delivered King Saul into David's hand to be executed (1 Samuel 26:6-12). Have you ever been wrong about something that you believed God wanted done?
