Prayer: May we be positive in all we do, Lord, and not get bitter. Help us to see how we are being taught in all circumstances. Amen.
Reading: Ruth 1: 15-22 (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: In this passage, we see Naomi change her name to Mara. Mara means “bitter.” She is bitter toward God for what has happened to her. We should not be like Naomi/Mara. We should look at everything and try to see it in a positive light. How will this experience help me? What does it teach me? Let’s work not to be bitter! --Chad Hershberger
