Prayer: Eternal God, walk with us now and always, fill our hearts with your grace and protect us from the evils of the world. Amen
Reading: John 15: 26-27, 16: 4b-15 (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: Sometimes I honestly feel like I need a personal assistant. Well then, imagine Jesus? Jesus explained his work would not be complete until he returned to God the Father. Then he would send the Spirit after his resurrection and the work of the Spirit would begin. Perhaps in our way of thinking…a personal assistant. Obviously, that is oversimplified and very few of us have a personal assistant. But we do have the Holy Spirit to walk with us, fill our hearts with grace and protect us. What else do we need? --Ruth Gates
