On with hope and the future...with Jurgen Moltmann.
...God comes to meet men and women out of (God's) future, and in their history reveals to them new, open horizons, which entice them to set forth into the unknown and invite them to the beginning of the new.
What an image to remember! In the middle of this day God greets us from the future and in the present we are given an opportunity to take part in a promise that will take us beyond what we are able to see and hold. Today comes to us as that invitation to open up our lives and move into the life that has been promised to us. Therefore, we can walk into a reality called justice, mercy, kindness, love, forgiveness & reconciliation even if it is not where we intended to go when we stepped out of bed today. God is meeting us with new ways too walk all through this day.
Connection: Fear not and begin to live in ways that may take you just out of the way you know so well. Fear not because God is present with us...just as promised.
Lord, we do not know where we will go today but we know that you will hold us and shape us. Empower us to trust the way you will call us as we step forward into your Reign. Amen.
