God as uncertainty. If you have any comments - adebelak@redeemerluth.com [mailto:adebelak@redeemerluth.com]What is next? How will I handle it? Where it take me? I don't know. As much as I
like to have a plan as to how the day will unfold, the day always seems to turn
up something when it does not go the way I intended it to go. God as uncertainty
is the reminder to live right into and through the moment at hand. We are invited
to embody the Reign of God - literally put our lives into it. Therefore, that which
is uncertain already has shape to it - there is a way into uncertain times - there
is a character waiting to be actualized - there is hope awakening us for what is
yet to come. I often talk like this about that which is not yet. Then again, as
I am in the middle of that which is not yet, I am too often a fool - a frighten
person frozen in my tracks - a nay-sayer.
What is next? I need to hang on to the certainty of God's power for life will be
endlessly with me even as uncertainty is pushing me around and causing confusion
to rule me. God as uncertainty may simply be the way we lay claim to the uncertain
times around us and remind one another of the life God is about to hand us no matter
what the signs around us seem to be saying.
O God of love and new life, abide with us again and inspire our living within your
Reign this day. Amen.
