Prayer: Help us to know where you are sending us, God. Listen to our prayers. Amen.
Reading: Hebrews 11: 8-22 (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: I can get content with my life. But look at Abraham. At age 75, God asked him to leave all that was familiar and travel in unknown territory. If God says, “Go,” we should go! God spoke directly to Abraham. This reminds me that we have a personal relationship with God. Prayer is important. We can communicate directly with God. And, we need to listen for the Spirit calling us and answering us. God listened to Abraham’s argument not to destroy the city of Sodom if 10 good people were found. God will listen to our arguments, too, when we pray. Ask and you will receive! --Chad Hershberger
