Prayer: Dear God, you call us to places to meet you, hear your word and go back to share with others. May we see your glory around us as we wait. Help us to live in relationship with you and with others as you would want us to. Amen
Reading: Exodus 24: 12-18 (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 LORD told Moses to come to Him on the mountain and wait there. He wanted to give Moses the tablets of stone so Moses would have the law and commandments to use for the instruction of God's people. So, Moses went. And waited. Waited on a cloud covered mountain for 6 days until God called out of the cloud. The glory of the LORD was like a fire on top of the mountain and for forty days and nights Moses was on the mountain with God. As much as we know God is everywhere and always with us, sometimes we are called to go somewhere to really hear, really see, really experience God. We may have to wait but God's glory will appear one way or another. Then we come back with His word written more clearly in our hearts which surely makes it easier to share with others. Where do you go to really hear, really see, really experience God? Go! Have you ever felt the glory of the LORD simply cover you completely? Wait! When you come back, are you more likely to share that love with others? Do! -- Ruth Gates
