Prayer: Gracious God, we have so much to be thankful for. It’s humbling. Help us to reach out to help others. Amen
Reading: Philippians 2: 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: Humility is the theme of these verses. When you put others before self, it is amazing how your little nagging aches and pains disappear! Consider the needs and concerns of those around you. Often your worries become trivial. When you live alone you feel alone and can conjure up and imagine all kinds of problems. But we are not alone. There are friends and family beyond your door who need “tending to”. Now, I don’t mean meddling. All you need do is listen. Then be grateful for all the blessings God has given you and be humble. --Alice Yeakel
