Prayer: Enduring God, rocks remind us your love lasts forever. We stand on the solid rock of life with you. We hold firmly to our faith which will not crumble. Amen.
Reading: Psalm 31: 1-5, 15-16 (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 our travels we have seen many impressive rock formations: along Maine’s rugged coast, Grand Canyon, Bryce Canyon. There is a field of rocks nearby known as the Ringing Rocks. If you walk across them and hit them (gently) with a hammer you can play a tune. On the windowsill above my kitchen sink I have two rocks. They obviously are not very big. But they are heart-shaped! How did they get that way? Large or small. Hold a rock in your hand. It doesn’t bend, break, or crumble. So it is with God’s love…solid, firm, enduring. His love is always present to help us endure. --Alice Yeakel
