Prayer: Dear God, I pray that you continue to be with us all. Help us to find the time to talk to you and learn from you. Please continue to light our paths and be with us on our journeys wherever they may lead us. Amen.
Reading: Psalm 119: 105 (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: Every time I read this verse, I think of little pioneer campers clinging to their flashlights while quickly walking with a buddy to the bathroom. As I watch the campers, I often think to myself, “Wow. I never could have done that as a six-year-old. I would have been too scared.” While walking with a flashlight you only have a few steps illuminated. You rely greatly on the safety of your flashlight to get to your destination. For pioneers, reaching the bathroom is their ultimate goal. It’s funny how something as simple as a flashlight can be so comforting to people big and small. In life we might often feel like we are walking on a path that is dark and scary. Instead of reaching for our flashlights, I encourage you to reach for your Bible and take some time and reconnect with God. Those few moments spent with your Bible will help illuminate your path and run the dark into light and the scary into joy. --Amy James
