QUESTION 3: What stories or memories does this text stir in me? QUESTION 4: What is God up to in this text? Reflection: This was a verse I tried to instill in the hearts of the children I taught at Temple Christian Academy. At first glance this verse seems easy. Then as I look at it, it is a verse that I do not always find myself following. We are to be kind to each other. We are to treat each other with at is easier said than done sometimes. We all like to joke and kid around, but sometimes it gets out of hand. Then before you know it, people’s feelings are getting hurt. That is when the next part of the verse needs to be put into action. Forgiveness! We need to forgive because we have been forgiven by God. That is not just any ordinary forgiveness. Christ took on all our sin and died on the cross for us. That is really powerful. This verse comes from a part of Ephesians when Paul is telling the new Christians of Ephesus how to act as a community of Christians. It was hard since the Jews and the Gentiles followed different rules, but now they had to treat each other as brothers and sisters of Christ. They did not always understand each other. These new Christians needed to be reminded that they are to do as God does. God loves them all, so they are to love each other. That goes for all of us, too. I have to remind myself that I do not know what I going on in another person’s life so I need to treat everyone in a loving manner. I have to be kind and tenderhearted with them, even if they are treating me differently. I need to see them as fellow children of God and forgive them even if they treat me unjustly. I know I will still fail at times; but, I can still strive to do my best and treat everyone as kindly as I can. --Charlene Rineer

I begin to wonder if I should just keep it out. Pack for a trip, go away, come back, do the laundry and repack it all back in again for the next trip. That would simplify the process and I would always be ready. Packed ahead and ready. Elijah set out to find Elisha to anoint him to be prophet in Elijah's place. Elisha was plowing with his oxen and asked if he could go home first to say good-bye to his family. Elijah took this as being half-hearted but Elisha did follow and become Elijah's servant and disciple. He was ready. How can we be quick to answer a call to do God's will? We journey best in this life with faith, hope and love; keeping prayer and trust in our hearts always.

Others tried to distract or sidetrack him. One wanted to come along but only after heading another direction first and then going with Jesus. Despite them, Jesus kept going. I like to travel and often come up with creative plans to get to where I am set on going. I am actually writing this in a Greyhound bus station in Erie, PA having arrived on a bus from Pittsburgh and waiting to transfer to another to Buffalo, NY. I am grateful Andy, my husband, is then picking me up because waiting for another transfer would get me to Rochester after midnight. Why the trouble? Well, because of an important family gathering in southcentral PA last weekend, I was also within 70 miles of my friends' cabin in WV and I could not pass up the chance to visit there, too. My face was set to go (taking my daughter and her car along on the adventure). Getting back home, however, meant I would need to take Greyhound from where Rachel returned to college and work. This is not my first travel adventure and certainly not my last. Going to Jerusalem was the last for Jesus yet his face was set. When heading in a direction that is not quite an adventure, I wonder if my face would be so set on going? How about you? -- Ruth Gates Prayer: Let my prayer rise up like incense to you, O God. Amen.

QUESTION 3: What stories or memories does this text stir in me? QUESTION 4: What is God up to in this text? Reflection: This psalm is one of my favorite passages in the Holy Bible, because of the sheer intensity of these words. What I love about this psalm is the fact that it is a prayer for preservation from evil. When I say this psalm, I ask God to answer me when I call to God and hear my prayers so that God may know that I am in need of attention. Since incense was offered during evening prayers, the fact that just the prayer alone could be offered as incense instead. When I look back on this psalm, I feel like a huge reason I like it so much is just the sheer fact that I can relate to it really well. It seems that there are many times in my life where I feel like evil is always knocking on my door. So many times, I feel like I don’t call upon God for help or preservation. There have been times when I do let evil in, and I do forget to lift up my prayers. However, from what I take in from this psalm, calling to God isn’t as intimidating as it sometimes appears. What I truly get out of this psalm is that when I call upon God, and offer my prayers, God always answers in one way or another. So, for the times in my life when I want to offer up my prayers, I just think of this psalm and remember that God will accept my prayers as incense and not turn me away. --Avery Lentz Prayer: Give us courage and strength for all our fears. Amen.

Reflection: “We are children of God through faith.” God promises us that and much more in our baptism. In the really rough times in life, we tend to reach down into our own strength, tough it out, so to speak. Sometimes in those difficult moments, we feel alone, abandoned. We too often forget that we are baptized, children of God. We are not alone. Not too long ago I received an envelope from a very good friend. That’s not unusual, I get stuff from him from time to time. But when I opened this envelope a door knob hanger fell out. On the picture of a sea shell are the words “Live Wet.” And above that Martin Luther’s words: “When you wash your face in the morning and evening remember your Baptism in the Name of the Father, and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.” That hangs on the door knob right by our shower. In the good times and the bad: We are baptized. Live Wet. --Jim Bricker Prayer: Thank you, God, for being near us always. When we feel far away, you haven't moved. Draw us closer to you. Amen

In Jesus' time he may have been like the Gerasene who had demons. Sometimes under watch and care. Sometimes wandering lost in life. My friend's prayer to God was, "Keep him safe." The Gerasene was safe once the demons came out of him and entered a herd of pigs to their destruction. That was not an option for my friend's son. Yet she continued to pray as she trusted God to keep him safe the way He can. As the Gerasene was told to declare how much Jesus had done, my friend will share how her son is safe in God's care. -- Ruth Gates We often reprint prior devotions that now reflect on the coming lectionary texts.

How does space remind you of the story of creation? What do you find most mysterious about space? I have always been fascinated with space travel. When I was a child, the space shuttle program began; and I remember having a plastic model of the space shuttle and some space-themed LEGO bricks. I built space ships and sent them off into the great beyond to new worlds and imagined places. When I was in middle school, I was home sick one day, suffering from the flu. My dad was making my sister and me (she was home sick, too), some soup as we watched “The Price is Right.” In the middle of the showcase showdown, a news anchor interrupted the program to tell us the space shuttle Challenger exploded. I stayed glued to my television the rest of the day, watching the coverage of this national tragedy. In high school, my senior English paper was on the Challenger disaster. I researched the event, read magazine articles, books, and even the Rogers Commission Report on the accident. I concluded, as did others, that the disaster could have been averted. Years later, I watched news coverage again when the Columbia disintegrated on reentry back to earth. “How could it happen again?” I asked myself. In 2011, as the space shuttle program wrapped up its thirty-year mission, I watched replays of the final landing with a bit of sadness. Despite the two major tragedies, this program exemplified America. It showed our resolve to explore outer space and, in a way, become closer with our God. To see God’s beautiful creation from space was a by-product of this program. To be reminded, as we watched space pictures from each mission that God cares for us, and created us in God’s likeness is something I’ll miss. --Chad Hershberger We often reprint prior devotions that now reflect on the coming lectionary texts.

Then, take a few minutes and look at all the things that God has created. Touch objects near you, smell the aromas that fill the air. God does marvelous work, don’t you think? God’s world is complex. When I think of creation and how intricate everything is and how everything works so well together, I am amazed and humbled. How people cannot believe in God by looking at creation is beyond me. As you go through the coming days, look closely at creation. Decide how you can help to preserve our creation. So many people are doing things today, which are destroying God’s wonderful work. How can you be a good steward? --Chad Hershberger Prayer: Dear God, we boast in our hope. Not to brag but to share your glory. Thank you for pouring your love into our hearts.

Reflection: I remember learning as a child that brag was a bad word in the sense that bragging was a bad thing to do. So imagine my dismay when I came across small albums of black and white baby pictures of my brothers and me and on the cover of each were the words, "My Bragging Book". I could not believe my parents would have such things and a bit embarassed,too! Eventually I understood these were photos taken by a professional photographer and put in the albums provided. Fine 8x10 portraits were framed and hung; the albums tucked away. Bragging really wasn't our style. Boasting in our hope shares the glory of God. This is not bragging. Bragging would make it sound like hope is only ours, we are most important because we have hope and everyone else is...hopeless! No, our hope is to be shared in a boasting way which brings love and welcomes all. To God be the glory! -- Ruth Gates Prayer: O God of wisdom we thank you for being with us from the beginning.

We all knew it was coming by listening to older classmates. To pass our Old Testament final in seminary we would have to write a psalm from memory. Psalm 23 was excluded and, as I said, nobody chose Psalm 104. It is 35 verses long! Over the years it has become one of my favorites and today we have the opportunity to look at it. It is a psalm that praises the creator, in fact, it reads very much like a creation tradition in addition to the two we have in Genesis. It is worth reading in its entirety sometime today. I’d like to share two translations of verse 26. Ships plow those waters, and Leviathan, your pet dragon, romps in them. (MSG) And there are the ships, as well as Leviathan, the monster you created to splash in the sea. (CEV) That’s just so we can have at least one smile in our day. A harmless monster of some sort which God creates for fun. I’m glad my creator is like that. (Reminds me of a glorious day of whale watching off Cape Cod.) The reason the psalm is a text for Pentecost is verse 30: When you send forth your spirit, they are created; and you renew the face of the ground. God’s constant creating, recreating and renewal of all existence is a recurring theme in scripture. What might you see, hear, smell, taste, touch today that makes you rejoice, smile and give God thanks for stirring among us renewing life? --Jim Bricker Don’t forget to read Psalm 104 before you go to bed tonight.

Transition times in life can be stressful. Listening and encouraging is helpful but can only go so far. Our verses today would be good to consider and remember. Being led by the Spirit holds us as children of God. Being led by the Spirit means we are not to fall into fear. Being led by the Spirit means we can call (and cry) " Abba! Father!" and God will listen. As much as I listen, I cannot lead. Care is there but fear may still be, too. As God listens and the Spirit leads, hopefully the fear will subside. Abba! Father! -- Ruth Gates Prayer: We celebrate this day, God, the beginnings of the church. Thank you for the opportunity to be with others in a faith community. Amen.

We remember when the Holy Spirit first came to dwell with us. Just as the Spirit will dwell with the summer staff, the Spirit dwells with you. How will the Spirit blow in new and exciting ways in your life? --Chad Hershberger |
