Prayer: When faced with concerns of not being able to manage a situation, may we look to you Lord for wisdom and calm. Amen
Reading: Luke 16: 1-13 (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: The manager in this parable was rather shrewd as he solved his money problem. On the 10 o'clock news there is a segment called Money Matters which gives all kinds of advice. There might be a recession. Should we sell our stock?" Perhaps keep our money in the mattress? It becomes so easy to worry and obsess about finances. The school tax is too high; along with oil and gas prices. This summer we painted half our house. Maybe in a year or two we can afford to paint the other half. We make do with what we have when we have it. Meanwhile God is watching over us and we are blest. -- Alice Yeakel
