Prayer: Dear Lord, thank you for the gifts and abilities you have given me. You are faithful and loving. Thank you for your son who gave his life for us. Thank you for the opportunity this summer to teach about him and you and these great gifts. Amen.
Reading: 2 Corinthians 4:7-15 (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: This treasure in a jar of clay is the spirit of God at work through us. We can share God’s love and teach about His goodness. This ability is because of and through God. Without Him we could not do this. There may be times, as the passage says, that it is hard to live out Christ’s word and to tell of His good news. But it is what we are called to do and with God working through us we can do these things. That is an amazing gift. --Grace Roux
