Prayer: We delight in you, Lord. Plant us by steams of water. May we grow in giving your love to others. Amen
Reading: Psalm 1 (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 river’s wide…..the water deep; I’ve miles to go before I sleep. That’s my own adaptation of two poems. I’ve been on two rivers. The Delaware River in the Delaware Water Gap National Park and the Ohio River in the city of St. Louis. On one I saw God’s handiwork in creation. On the other I saw man’s creations of concrete and steel. As we travel the river of life, there is much to see and much to do. Psalm 1 reminds us those who delight in the Lord are like trees planted by streams of water. They yield fruit. What river of life do you find yourself on? What do you see? What will you give? --Alice Yeakel
