Prayer: Lord, you keep us safe in your steadfast love. Thank you for being our rock and refuge at all times. Amen
Reading: Psalm 31: 1-5, 15-16 (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 verses we read in Psalm 31 seem to be about where to be safe and how to feel safe even when in danger. Reminds me of a chorus from a Veggie Tale song from their version of the story of Daniel in the Lion's Den. God is bigger than the boogie man. He's bigger than Godzilla and the monsters on tv. Oh, God is bigger than the boogie man, And he's watching out for you and me. I don't mean to make light of troubles by thinking a little ditty of a song will make it all better. But there is truth that God is our rock and our refuge. We are safe in his steadfast love. --Ruth Gates
