Today, we look at a Day 1 text from this year’s summer curriculum, “From Generation to Generation.”
Prayer: Provider, Father, Lord: You made the world and provided for all within it. May I trust in your plan and live in your Word. Amen. Reading: Luke 12:22-34 (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: Do Not Be Anxious. How many times do you hear that? My mother is constantly telling me not to worry, and my kids say I overthink things, creating would-be problems in my mind before they happen. Why is that? It seems the older I get, the more I fret about what might happen instead of the proverbial, Let go. Let God. Jesus reminds us in his admonition to His disciples that fretting about what is beyond our control wastes precious minutes of living life fully, in gratitude for what we have, with assurance that God provides. So, take a moment to count your blessings and assess your needs versus your wants. Enjoy the now and put your efforts in God’s will. He will take care of you, as you care for His kingdom. --Heather LeBlanc
