This week: God as opposite. If you have any comments - adebelak@redeemerluth.com [mailto:adebelak@redeemerluth.com]In many ways, God as opposite means it may be necessary to undo what we have done
or what we have said or how we have committed ourselves. I think that is all a part
of repentance. Repentance is triggered and empowered by seeing and hearing our God
as opposite. In the many ways the Holy Spirit does this, we are faced with the wide,
open Reign of God that probably doesn't look like our most well-laid plans for the
day. Therefore, we are encouraged - maybe even pulled - to grab hold of the movement
of God Reign and go in that direction and not our own. As we are pulled into seeing
and hearing this opposite way - we will find ourselves facing life around us with
new eyes and seeing the world around us with new ears. God as opposite is a tap
on the shoulder that always says: come and follow me.
O God of love and new life, tap us and turn us and tenderly remind us of the way
of your gentle and loving Reign so that we will settle down and abide there today.
Amen.
