Prayer: Righteous God, we faithfully look to you. Meet us where we are. May faith and love be in our hearts always. Amen.
Reading: Psalm 85: 8-13 (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: Faithfulness will spring up from the ground, and righteousness will look down from the sky. Psalm 85: 11 As faith springs up and righteousness looks down, you get the idea they meet. Where? Neither at a particular point exactly halfway between nor somewhere either towards the top or closer to the bottom. Simply saying there is a meeting place. What a wonderful place to be. Look for it where you are. Find it in your heart. There is another way of putting this. Talk to some Camp Mount Luther staff and they will tell you about Camp being a thin place. It has to do with it being a meeting place but they would explain better. Ask them. It’s a wonderful place to be. --Ruth Gates
