Prayer: Good morning, Lord. It's time to wake up. May we put on the armor of light and live honorably. Amen
Reading: Romans 13: 11-14 (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: Besides this, you know what time it is, how it is now the moment for you to wake from sleep. Romans 13: 11a How do you start your days? I follow a blog called Raise & Shine. The subtitle: Wake Up. Grab Coffee. Shine. Repeat. The author adds, "I believe each morning is a fresh start and I believe hot coffee is step one." I agree except for me it's hot tea. I just read a book by someone else who also starts her day with a cup of coffee but has added drinking a full glass of water before that first cup. So I have tried that before my tea. For a variety of reasons, "Stay hydrated." has always been best advice in my family. Romans 13: 11-14 is an urgent appeal to wake up! Now. Salvation is near. Live honorably. Put on the Lord Jesus Christ. Good advice all around. Remember Paul's urgent appeal. Check out that blog. Wake up! -- Ruth Gates
