Prayer: Good and gracious God, lead us to ways we can spread your Good News. Open our eyes to the good news around us. Help us to be the good news we hope to see. Amen
Reading: Psalm 59: 1-6 (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: January and February are harsh months …. especially this year. Threats of snow and sleet…and then it does not. Yet the days are still gray and dreary. Life’s challenges seem larger, heavier than normal. In fact, that’s been the feeling for more than one season. So we cry out to God and ask ”Where are You? Why aren’t You helping us?” But, in turn God could ask “What are we doing to help ourselves and help each other?!? Sometimes I wish for a “Good News” channel because there is proof of people extending a helping hand and compassion. We can all look…and listen…and become aware of opportunities to make life better and safer. Let God lead you. --Alice Yeakel
