Prayer: For today Lord, just a happy feeling would mean the most. May we find our joy in you. Amen
Reading: Psalm 119: 1-8 (Click to read text) Stop and GROW: After reading the text, discuss/ponder the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America's Book of Faith questions, which are part of Camp Mount Luther's GROW Time with campers. QUESTION 1: What scares, confuses, challenges, or doesn’t make sense to me in this text? QUESTION 2: What delights me in this text or is my favorite part of the story? QUESTION 3: What stories or memories does this text stir in me? QUESTION 4: What is God up to in this text? Reflection: I am not sure because I have not checked, but I think Psalm 119 is the longest Psalm of them all. 176 verses! Good thing we only have to read verses 1-8 for today. And I especially like how the first three verses are helpful hints for how to be Happy. Go back and read them again or for the first time if you skipped that step above. It's only three, well really eight, verses. You can do it. It's not like reading all 176 and they just might help you feel happy. I think that's all I need to know (or write) for today. We'll say this is the shortest devotion written about the beginning of the longest Psalm. One word: Happy. --Ruth Gates
