Prayer: A song of joy is in our hearts when know we are made new in you, saving LORD. Amen
Reading: Zephaniah 3: 14-20 (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 book of Zephaniah, like several books of the prophets, begins angrily and contains strong words of judgement against the evil doings of the people. But it ends with singing because of the promise God will restore and save. What would you rejoice about if you had the chance to be made over by God? He can and he will, you know. What changes would you like to see in yourself, your church or your community? Be renewed and keep at it. Do not let your hands grow weak. (v. 16) -- Ruth Gates
