We often reprint prior devotions that now reflect on the coming lectionary texts. This is a reprint from a devotion originally published on October 10, 2019.
Prayer: Praise the Lord! Great are your works. In awe may we grow in wisdom. Amen Reading: Psalm 111 (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: “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom” --Psalm 111: 10a Fear and wisdom go hand in hand; however, fear does not always mean we are frightened. Another word for fear here could be awe which has more of a connotation of respect. If we are respectful, we have understanding and that is how we obtain wisdom. -- Alice Yeakel
