Prayer: Dear God, how majestic is your name and all you have created. May we be caretakers of the wonders of this world and praise you for your glory. Amen
Reading: Psalm 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: God has given us so much! Are we aware of all God provides or do we take blessings for granted? Stop for a moment and consider the majesty of creation. Then think about our role in caring for it. In Psalm 8, we are implored us to do so. God makes human beings the royalty of creation and gives us responsibility for caring for creation. The soil we walk on. The trees we sit under. The waters in the ocean, lakes and streams where we boat, fish and swim. We are to exercise godly care for everything. We are caretakers of God’s creation with shovels, rakes, brooms, and even litter bags. We are caretakers of God’s glory as we praise. --Alice Yeakel
