Prayer: Dear God, may your word always be very near to us; in our mouths and in our hearts. Amen
Reading: Deuteronomy 30: 9-14 (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: The word is very near to you; it is in your mouth and in your heart for you to observe. - Deuteronomy 30: 14 There are two Bible verses I have always kept in my heart for my children. The verses seemed to fit them and their lives. I have rubber stamps of the verses so quick and easy reminders could be put on mirrors, nightstands, bulletin boards, lunchboxes, cards in the mail. Our text today speaks of God's word being near to us and therefore not too hard to observe. My hope is keeping the word close has helped, especially when things seemed too hard. The rubber stamps are only six inches away in the letterbox on my desk as I am typing this devotion. I think I will make a card or two right now. -- Ruth Gates
