Prayer: Your grace is sufficient, Lord. Amen.
Reading: 2 Corinthians 12: 2-10 (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: There is a song I like by Ben Harper called, “Blessed to be a Witness.” I’ve used it as a basis for a staff training theme a couple of times (including last year). There is a line in that song that I’m reminded of often: “Only by the grace of God go I.” Paul reminds us of that same sentiment in our passage today. He writes about God saying, “My grace is sufficient for you, for power is made perfect in weakness.” We are the vessels that God bestows grace. And that grace is sufficient and is what we need to hold onto, particularly when times are tough. --Chad Hershberger
