Today, we look at a Day 2 text from this year’s summer curriculum, “From Generation to Generation.”
Prayer: Dear God, we acknowledge that your promises are ones we can rely on. Help us live in the good of those promises. Amen. Reading: Genesis 45:1-15; 50:19-20 (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: Genesis 45–50 tells the end of the epic story of Joseph: best known for his crazy dreams, colorful coat, and rise to power in Egypt after being sold as a slave and presumed dead by his brothers. Despite sibling rivalry, jealousy, and harmful shenanigans, God made everything good. Often when we face adversity, that’s when we see God the God. God never leaves us or forsakes us. As we look at this story with campers this summer, we will explore how God’s promises are promises forever. Even when people hurt or confuse us, or we are afraid, sad, or lonely, God’s promises are the real deal, and we can rely on God. How do you rely on God? --Chad Hershberger
