Prayer: Heavenly Father, help us to believe in You and trust in You always and in all things. Amen.
Reading: John 3:14-17 (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: WOW! That's all it takes! Believe in Jesus. It sounds so simple, but is it really? To truly believe in God we also need to trust Jesus, and oftentimes trust is not something that is easy to give. I once did trust falls with my campers. They stood on the edge of the picnic table and were supposed to fall straight back into our arms. Many of them didn't trust us. They sat down as they fell which made it harder for us to catch them. Many times, we are so like those campers. We don't trust God to be with us. We worry over things that we really don't need to. We waste valuable time because of our distrust. God sent us Jesus- "His only begotten Son" so that we would have a real visible reminder that God is with us always. All we need to do is trust. --Beth Roux
