Prayer: We sing our praises to you, God. Thank you for loving us. Amen, Amen!!
Reading: Psalm 95: 1-7a (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: Let us begin this day with singing. Whether we feel like it or not, let us make glad sounds and force our tongues to articulate words of thanksgiving and praise. The facts are: God is with us; this world and we who live in it are His; He loves us; He has adopted us as His children; we belong to Him. (Psalm 95 from Psalms/Now by Leslie Brandt) Because the Psalms speak so well for themselves and I really could not come up with something new to say for this GROW Time writing, I turned to Psalms/Now which takes the Psalms and puts them as prayers for today. Honestly, I don’t think there is more that I can say. Sometimes we just need to sing; whether we feel like it or not. Sometimes all we need are the facts. God loves us. All I have to add is, “Amen, Amen!!” --Ruth Gates
