This week: God as redundancy. If you have any comments - adebelak@redeemerluth.com [mailto:adebelak@redeemerluth.com]This is the end of the week and yet there is no end of the week with our God. There
may be time for rest - but the week - the months - the years keep rolling along
the way and we can count on the fact that our God as redundancy will hold out the
invitation to come along once again. There is always the tomorrow of God's invitation
- God's reminder. In the middle of all that word of hope offered again and again
there is time to rest and be still. We can rest and be still because our God of
redundancy - even as God rests - remain this light - this wind - this vision -
this available presence that is pulling and making space for us to thrive and enter
new life at any and all times. We have this Alpha and Omega God. We have this "I
thought I was a goner - and then God reminded me that I am beloved forever" God.
I need that reminder whenever something seems to be coming to an end - even if it
is just the end of a 'work week' - which is no longer the truth for too many people.
God as redundancy is present and then present again.
O God of love and new life, remind us again - here we go again. Amen.
