Prayer: Father, friend, and holy spirit, thank you for your unending love and acceptance. You are good beyond words or understanding. Amen.
Reading: Psalm 103: (1-7), 8-13 (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: What a great reminder this psalm is to distinguish between needs and wants. When I’m tempted to worry about what might be around the corner, or feel burdened by guilt, or am angry at the unfairness of things, I’d do well to read this psalm again. Admittedly, I might have it memorized within the week! The Lord is kind. Like the best parent, He offers guidance, forgiveness, protection, justice, mercy, patience, and above all, love! With all my heart, I praise the Lord! --Heather LeBlanc
