Prayer: Who may be with you, Lord? Those who love. May we never be moved. Amen
Reading: Psalm 15 (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: Psalm 15 asks, "Who...? Who...?" The questions are who may abide in (God's) tent and who may dwell on (His) holy hill. Being a camp sort of person, the words who and tent made me think of owls and cabins. Which made me think of Camp Mount Luther. Have you seen the Camp Mount Luther promotional video? It is terrific! Here is a link to it: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=JwuTBFNEb70&feature=youtu.be Who may abide in God's tent and who may dwell on His holy hill? As the side notes for Psalm 15 in my Bible point out, the requirements for entering into God's presence are based on how people treat each others, not on ritual preparations. Those who love their neighbors may enter. Click on that link again. See neighbors; see love. Looking for a tent or a holy hill? How about a cabin at Mt. Luther! You may even hear an owl, too. -- Ruth Gates
