We often reprint prior devotions that now reflect on the coming lectionary texts. This is a reprint from a devotion originally published on July 11, 2019.
Prayer: Remind me, God, of your truth. Reading: Psalm 25:1-10 (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: It is so easy to be distracted and misled in today’s world. Communication can go viral in just a few minutes. And often we have no way of checking the accuracy or truth of the information transmitted. We can so easily be misled. To some degree, the psalmist must have felt something similar. Here we are encouraged to stay in touch with what is the truth—dependable truth. I’m not sure how to help us do that. Except to offer the reminder for us to be careful about what we read and hear. Compare it always with what we know to be God’s way. --Jim Bricker
