Reading: Exodus 33: 12-23 (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.

We had a lot of questions yet he always responded with, "Good question." and by the end of the tour we knew a lot about making wine. The LORD told Moses, "My presence will go with you, and I will give you rest." Moses asked, "If your presence will not go, do not carry us up from here. For how shall it be known that I have found favor in your sight, I and your people, unless you go with us? In this way we shall be distinct, I and your people, from every people on the face of the earth." (v. 15-16) Good question, Moses, and the LORD answered, "I will do the very thing you have asked; for you have found favor in my sight, and I know you by name." Go ahead. Ask questions. Questions are good. The LORD will answer and at the end you will know a lot about....? --Ruth Gates
