Prayer: Surely you are our God! We trust in you and you save us. We rejoice and are glad in your salvation. Amen
Reading: Isaiah 25: 6-9 (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 write this while sitting on the porch of a mountaintop cottage. While there are many places to get away, one of my favorites is in the mountains. So at least once a year I travel here for time with friends, time alone and time with God. Isaiah prophesied, "On this mountain the LORD Almighty will prepare a feast of rich for all peoples... On this mountain...the Sovereign Lord will wipe away the tears from all faces. Let us rejoice." (from Isaiah 25: 6-9) That truly is my experience on this mountain. Lots of good food, a few tears wiped away and much rejoicing. Surely we trust in God. He saves us and we can be glad. Where is your mountain? --Ruth Gates, Camp Mount Luther Family Camper
