This week: God as opposite. If you have any comments - adebelak@redeemerluth.com [mailto:adebelak@redeemerluth.com]God as opposite invites us to take another look or consider another story line or
pause and breathe. All that means is that we often charge off as we would like to
charge off into the day. That means we have a vision of who we are and who we want
to be and very often, that vision rules the day and the vision of the Reign of God
is a side note. I'm not good at this - but it really does mean that we must give
ourselves the time or opportunity to change our mind and our direction. No matter
how right we feel or how great our idea may be, it is worth taking a breath and
look around and become aware of other ways to move ahead. God as opposite is always
pulling us toward peace and service and love of other. So we need to face our own
lives with a bit of honesty and note how we might be turning and going off in a
direction contrary to our God. Yes, it is a daily exercise - we often need others
to help in that turn around.
O God of love and new life, open up this day so that we know we can pause and be
still and learn to look again at the way we are walking and then in the middle
of all that, trust in you alone. Amen.
