Prayer: When we are feeling the weight of the world, help us know your presence and see the light amidst the darkness, O God. Amen.
Reading: Psalm 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: The title for today’s devotion was the title for this passage in my Bible. And I couldn’t help but think as I was reading this Psalm that many of us are feeling like we are ready to be delivered from this season—coronavirus, elections, racial unrest. It’s been a wild and weird year. But, just as I wrote last week about Psalm 46, I think it’s important to be reminded that God is with us. God will deliver us. COVID-19 will end. Election day will come and go. Hopefully, there will be a day that we treat everyone with respect and love. But through it all, God is with us. God will deliver us from trouble. Amen. Amen. Amen. --Chad Hershberger
