Prayer: Each day, may we stop and listen to you, Lord. Amen.
Reading: Luke 10: 38-42 (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: There are too many choices on what to, whether it is going to a job, going with friends, going on a trip, watching TV, or playing computer games. There are so many things to do and not enough time in the day to do them all. But do we ever just stop and listen for God? Some of us do stop and listen for God on Sundays, but that’s not the same as just stopping on the other days to hear what God might be saying to us. I know that I do not stop and listen. I have school all day long and then I have work that I have to go to. When do I have time to listen to God? In our story today, we hear about Mary and Martha. I’m like Martha, running around trying to get all my work done. Maybe I do too much. I should take some time each day to stop and listen to Jesus. There are so many ways to hear God if you take the time, like sounds of nature, through other people, through prayer, and a lot more! --Arthur Erickson
