Prayer: Lord, we have been tested and tried. We feel burdened but trust you will bring us out to a spacious place. Thank you for blessing us with your steadfast love. Amen
Reading: Psalm 66: 8-20 (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: Verses 10 through 12 well describe the past few months. We have been tested. For those in the field of medicine it has been chaotic and demanding. For those of us quarantined it has been monotonous. Yet we continue to do the Lord’s work in our own humble way. A neighbor makes facial masks, puts them in a plastic bag, and pins them to a washline on her front porch for anyone to take. Five ladies wearing masks, gloves, shower caps meet every weekday noon at church to pack bag lunches for school children. Another young lady, a furloughed professional singer, stands on her porch and sings songs of hope for her neighbors. Yes, we have been tested. And we have been blest as God’s Love remains steadfast with us. --Alice Yeakel
