Week #4 Study Questions

Shammah (2 Samuel 23:11-12)

1. Have you ever been "alone"? Have you ever been left "alone" or left to stand "alone"? What was the circumstance? How did you feel?

2. Consider the following quote as you go about your business this week. Read it at different times. Think and meditate on it keeping Shammah in mind. What does it say to you? Here's the quote: "Learn hence, how much religion tends to inspire men with courage. And when they became famous for piety, they became famous for bravery" (Wesley).

3. If someone were to ask you who your battle was against as a Christian, how would you answer him/her?

4. A fascinating study in the Bible surrounds the many names of God. One such name God goes by is Jehovah Shammah. Read the very last verse in the book of Ezekiel (48:35) to find out what Jehovah Shammah stands for (the last four words is the answer) and then describe what difference it makes in your life to know that God goes by that name when it comes to you.
