We often reprint prior devotions that now reflect on the coming lectionary texts. This is a reprint from a devotion originally published on April 8, 2014.
Prayer: Give me confidence, O Lord. Guide me. Be with me. Amen. Reading: Isaiah 50:4-9a (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: Unshakable confidence in God. To teach, to sustain the weary, to hear, to face toward God, to endure insult without retribution, to set our faces like flint and not be distracted. It is the Lord God who helps me; who will declare me guilty? (Isaiah 50:9a) Whatever opportunity we have today to share God’s grace, we do it with unshakable confidence in God. Whatever difficulty or evil present today, we confront with unshakable confidence in God. The Lord of hosts is with us; The God of Jacob is our refuge. (Psalm 46:7 & 11) --Jim Bricker
