Prayer: Dear God, speak to us and dwell in our hearts. Amen
Reading: Psalm 85: 8-13 (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: When you think of God, what words come to mind? How would you describe God to someone? Psalm 85 gives us a few promises of God’s character – steadfast love, faithfulness, righteousness, peace. It also mentions God speaks to his people, his salvation is at hand and his glory dwells with us. Sometimes when it seems God is too mysterious or somewhat distant, turn to Psalm 85 – while indescribable, God is real; while unseen, God’s will is fulfilled. --Ruth Gates
