God on the move who keeps us moving.
So it is the end of the week - what now? The week ends and the weekend begins. I
like the sound of that. In the end there is a beginning and most of us really look
forward to that which comes after the end. In fact, we often take note that there
is quite a bit of life to be lived in the that which is part of the end. Our God
on the move is always dismantling the 'end' so that we will stay on the move. That
is life in the Reign of God - what now - what will come of us - who will we be next.
So we look forward to the end and we learn that after the weekend is the beginning
- again. This God on the move is throwing life in front of us and calling us to
take a piece of it and be pulled into the possibilities for life that each of us
are handed each day - from the beginning to the end and right on through to the
next beginning.
We don't keep moving simply because we are having successes or have things going
our way. Rather we keep moving because we only know that our God will be with us
in the midst of all things - endings and beginnings. Therefore we can be people
who move into life and not let ourselves fall into indifference that keeps us in
one place - never moving in any way.
O God of love and new life, pull us through the end and make us see how life begins
even as we are ready to give up. By your Spirit help to hold up our heads to see
beyond the ends of our life that are so often able to bring us down. Amen.
