Prayer: Dear God, we often ask the same questions. Help us to find the answers as we read your word and walk in your ways. May we always remember we can talk to you and listen. Amen
Reading: Habakkuk 1: 1-4, 2: 1-4 (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: Our Bible verses today remind me of FAQs - Frequently Asked Questions. You see them a lot nowadays. Google anything - Planning a wedding. Visiting a college. Buying a house. - and you can get a list of FAQs. Seems many people have many of the same questions. Hence, FAQs and answers so we can find out what most of us mostly need to know. In Habakkuk 1, the phophet is asking the questions, "How long?" and "Why?" Habukkuk 2 is God's answers. "How long?" and "Why?" could certainly be considered our FAQs, too. If you find yourself asking these questions, go ahead and read Habakkuk 1. Want to know the answers? Habakkuk 2. And just to know, Habakkuk 3 is the prophet's prayer. Aways a good idea. Talk and listen to God. Amen -- Ruth Gates
