We often reprint prior devotions that now reflect on the coming lectionary texts. This is a reprint from a devotion originally published on November 15, 2018.
Prayer: Dear God, help us to not stumble. Thank you for watching over us. Your wisdom and love light our way. Amen Reading: Psalm 16 (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 like this Psalm. It is so upbeat and full of positivity (a good word). We hear so much negative news it is hard to see the positive. Look for it. It is out there. While we may still have to deal with the bad, a bit of good can give us strength. We know in our hearts God is watching over us. He gives us wisdom and His love lights our way so we do not stumble. Therefore, go forth and do good joyfully! -- Alice Yeakel
