Prayer: Dear God, help me always and continually keep my mind on You. Let my relationship with Jesus be noticeable by my words and actions. I ask that my vocabulary and behaviors show love for others without frustration, bitterness or hate. Amen
Reading: Colossians 3: 1-11 (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: Even though I have known Jesus all my life, I have failed to be a consistent representative of a Christian. I am human and will continue to err and stumble. I sometimes, try as I might, do exactly what I don't want to do. I have shown frustration in the workplace, anger to my children and disrespect to my husband. Amazingly the love and discipline of God can transform me in undeserved perfection. By keeping our minds on things above and His image, we can appear with Him in glory. -- Sharon Truitt
