Prayer: Quench the fires of our hearts, and put out the fires around us, Lord. Amen.
Reading: Isaiah 64: 1-9 (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 watch from afar and marvel at the devastation of the wildfires that burn in the western part of the United States. One of our colleague camps has had land burned. Fortunately, none of their buildings have burned but they have been evacuated waiting for the fires to be put out. I thought of those horrific fires when I read this passage. It reminded me that there are times when we feel helpless. Fires rage around us. We can’t do anything but rely on God. The fires cause water to boil and the timber is burning all around you, turn to the one who can put those fires out- our Creator God. --Chad Hershberger
