Prayer: Lord, when we seek you we find life. Be with us through our days and guide our hearts to you. Amen
Reading: Amos 5: 6-7 (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 don’t know why, but I am really good at finding things. “It’s never really lost until mom can’t find it.” is something my family says. And every time I find a lost thing I say, “I get a quarter!” Yet, one of my favorite songs is U2’s, I Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For. Unpacking that song is more than I will get into here. So, just this thought: As our text today says, Seek the Lord and live. (Amos 5: 6a), know there is life in searching. So, keep searching. What are you looking for? Amos was talking to a people who squandered there chances. Let us seek the Lord and live. --Ruth Gates
