Prayer: Help us to see you when we feel weighed down by complaining, Lord. You are our rock and our refuge. Amen.
Reading: Exodus 16: 2-4, 9-15 (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: I get tired of complaining. For the most part, I try to be content in life and see the good. But there are some who look on the cloudy side of life and constantly have something negative to say about almost every situation. Imagine being Moses and Aaron. The Israelites are all complaining about EVERYTHING! Life is not good, and they are feeling helpless. Complain, complain, complain is all they are doing. But Moses and Aaron turn to God and God provides and helps ease the complaining, at least for a while. When people who complain are getting us down, turn to God. God will find a way to make the skies sunny again. --Chad Hershberger
