Prayer: God, help me to pursue the work that You have set aside for me and to excel in exalting You and not myself. Amen.
Reading: 1 Peter 4: 7-11 (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: I love this text as it reminds us that God has given us each a unique gift to serve others with and the strength to serve others (verses 10-11). We were made to serve in different ways through our different talents and God knew that the world needed one of us, how cool! Perhaps your gift is baking, and you use it to provide homemade breads and cookies to those who are hungry. Whatever your gift, use it to serve God and help others. What is a gift or talent you have? How could you use that gift or talent in serve others? --Marie Barnard
