For today's devotional, again we will use the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America's Book of Faith questions, which will also be a big part of Camp Mount Luther's GROW Time with campers this summer. First, read the passage and then discuss the four questions below. Conclude by reading the reflection and ponder the quote presented.
Reading: I Thessalonians 5: 1-11 QUESTION 1: What scares, confuses, or challenges me in this text? (or for younger kids, which part of the story doesn’t make sense to me?) QUESTION 2: What delights me in this text? (or for younger kids, what is my favorite part of the story?) QUESTION 3: What stories or memories does this text stir in me? (or for younger kids, what does this story remind me of?) QUESTION 4: What is God up to in this text? (or for younger kids, what is God or Jesus doing in this story?) Reflection: The experiences I usually write about here all happened while I was awake. But all of us spend a great portion of our lives asleep. Each day we need to rest to rejuvenate our bodies and clear our minds. This passage tells us that no matter if we are asleep or awake, we must be prepared for our Lord's coming. It may happen during the day, or at night; we do not know. Are you ready? --Chad Hershberger, Camp Mount Luther Director Closing: Pray for rest and readiness.
