This week: God as redundancy. If you have any comments - adebelak@redeemerluth.com [mailto:adebelak@redeemerluth.com]When I say consider God as redundancy, it is like saying God is our rock and our
foundation. Within the span of humankind, those grand 'rocks' we see around us
don't change very much and that is usually because we destroy them or move them
or dislodge them. Otherwise, there is that rock and it will continue to be that
rock beyond any of our lives. God as redundancy is the wonderful expectation that
God will be - as is noted - the same - always the same - always the character God
promises to be as God is in relationship with us. Though I enjoy - at times - the
need to keep my balance not knowing if I will fall or tumble, I must have the assurance
that my life has a foundation that will never be lacking - never absent - never
in question. God as redundancy is eternally that rock and foundation - even that
wind behind us that keeps us moving even when we seem to be stuck and unable to
go on for another day. God as redundancy presses the point - again. That is, beloved
- again. Even when I already know that truth God promises to lay it all out in front
of us - again.
O God of love and new life, continue to the road an pathway that will move us into
the fullness of your love and life - again. Even when we turn or stumble, be the
God you always promise to be. Amen.
