God as new day. If you have any comments - adebelak@redeemerluth.com [mailto:adebelak@redeemerluth.com]Too often I let myself be ruled by the way things have gone. It is not a very creative
place to be. In fact, it is a place that rules out creativity. It is a place that
is able to keep me stuck and unable to think or act outside the way things have
always gone. What a lost place - what a boring place - what a sad place. God as
new day liberates us to look with new eyes at what is coming at us. When we can
do that, there is the opportunity to make something new out of the moment and the
day. That is how creativity starts - being able to see the same old stuff in a new
way so that we are not ruled by what has been. This does not mean that we must always
be changing things. Rather, we are given the freedom to walk around and to get another
perspective and to play with the situations in which we find ourselves. God as new
day is a door that has been blown wide open and now we are free to investigate what
new life may greet us.
O God of love and new life, fling wide the door of this day and encourage us to
take it on in ways we mays that are fresh and surprising. Amen.
