Today, we look at a Day 1 text from this year’s summer curriculum, “From Generation to Generation.”
Prayer: May our trust in you, God, be as strong as Abraham and Sarah’s. Amen. Reading: Genesis 12:1-9 (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 12:1-9 tells the story of Abraham and Sarah trusting God completely. They packed up everything and set off through the desert to a place God promised to show them. No map. No GPS. No Google Maps. Just trust in God. Do you think you could have done what this couple did? Total trust in God to lead the way? Sometimes we do trust walks at camp. One person is blindfolded and another leads. You have to totally rely on the person leading you. This is what Abraham and Sarah did. Often in the news we hear about immigration. Have you ever thought that God could be calling the people who are trying to immigrate to our country just like God did for Abraham and Sarah? Are there not modern-day Abrahams and Sarahs in our midst? I look forward to talking with our campers this summer about trusting God, just like Abraham and Sarah did! --Chad Hershberger
