Prayer: God, our creator, as we interact with and study your creation, may your Holy Spirit continue to reveal your word to us. Amen.
Reading: 1 Corinthians 2:1-16 (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: Verse 9 of today’s passage says, “However, as it is written: What no eye has seen, what no ear has heard, and what no human mind has conceived”- the things God has prepared for those who love him- Reflect on all of the processes that happen in your body on a daily basis without you having to think about them – like your heart beating, and your lungs breathing (especially while you sleep). All of these processes were so intricately designed and set in motion by God, our Creator! The immeasurable wisdom that God has is mind-blowing… One of my favorite things about studying biology at Grove City College was the constant reminder that science and Christianity IS compatible. My sophomore year, one of my professors said, “studying science is like thinking God’s thoughts after him.” I think that is an awesome mindset to have, that as we continue to make more scientific discoveries as humans, we are not revealing our power and wisdom, but God’s. Louis Pasteur (who invented pasteurization) said: “The more I study nature, the more I stand amazed at the work of the Creator. Science brings men nearer to God.” --Anne Harshbarger
