Prayer: Focus our minds on you, God, and help us to spend time each day reflecting on your Word and praying. Amen.
Reading: Mark 1: 29-39 (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: Jesus is busy at work in this passage, healing the sick, spreading the good news of God. But did you notice what we did in verse 35? “In the morning, while it was still very dark, he got up and went out to a deserted place, and there he prayed.” He took time out of his busy schedule to spent time by himself, with God. What do you do to reground yourself? Do you have time each day to go away by yourself and pray? It has been my practice for years to ride my exercise bike in the morning and read my devotional books and spent time with God. It helps me start my day off right. I miss it when I don’t get the chance to do that. Hopefully, you have time to spend with God each day. If not, what’s stopping you? --Chad Hershberger
