Prayer: Great and good, God, we praise you. May all know of your grace, mercy and steadfast love. Amen
Reading: Psalm 145: 1-8 (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: Psalm 145 is so positive – praising the greatness and goodness of God - to tell others of God’s deeds so others may know God. One generation to another – declare, proclaim and celebrate. Sing! Pray. Like the familiar mealtime prayer – “God is great. God is good.” When days seem bleak and the future seems uncertain like a murky fog, read Psalm 145 for hope and encouragement. Then share it. It hurts to see people floundering because of loneliness, isolation and fear of illness. Let’s uphold each other with friendship and caring deeds. Sometimes all it takes is a smile, a cheerful hello, a funny story, a phone call. A song. A prayer. --Alice Yeakel
