Prayer: Lord, put your law within us and write it in down in our hearts. May we all know you and your forgiveness. Amen
Reading: Jeremiah 31: 31-34 (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: You probably know the Sunday School song: I’ve got the joy, joy, joy, joy, down in my heart. (Where?) Down in my heart. (Where?) Down in my heart! I’ve got the joy, joy, joy, joy, down in my heart. (Where?) Down in my heart to stay! And you probably know the next verse about: …the peace that passes understanding down in my heart. (Where?) Down in my heart. (Where?) Down in my heart! I’ve got the peace that passes understanding down in my heart. (Where?) Down in my heart to stay! But, unless you’ve been to Camp, you probably don’t know the verse about: …the wonderful love of the blessed Redeemer or the one about: …the blessed belief that baffles the Buddhists. And you probably don’t even know there is a chorus between the verses. Why, yes, in fact there is! Come to Camp Mount Luther to learn it all. But from our reading today in Jeremiah 31, we all do know that the LORD says, “I will put my law within them, and I will write it (down in their hearts). (v. 33) --Ruth Gates
