Prayer: Gracious God, ruler of the universe I praise your holy name. Thank you for the creation that is under your power. Let us roar out your greatness to all those around. Help us follow your commands of loving you with all our being and loving our neighbors. AMEN
Reading: Psalm 93 (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: I know you just answered those questions above, but I have another question or two for you. What did you picture in your mind as you read the text? What images did you see? I look for imagery a lot when I read the Bible. In this text I see a powerful being sitting on a gold glowing throne. There are mountains around them in the back and oceans in front of them. The waves are powerful and crashing but under the control of God. All is bright and glowing. The scene is very colorful with vibrant colors. It reminds me of a beautiful fall day in the mountains but at the seashore. Both are places where I see God all around. It also reminds me of how powerful God is and that God can control the seas. God, the creator, is eternal and will reign forever. --Charlene Rineer
