This week: God as Glory. If you have any comments - adebelak@redeemerluth.com [mailto:adebelak@redeemerluth.com].
Look around, the Glory of God is not hidden. It is a brightly lit as the people
who you will encounter today. God as glory is that which makes us come to understand
a bit of what the Reign of God is like. Therefore, it is a child's smile or big,
old weeping face - it is that unknown person walking on the other side of the street
(the one you may fear at the moment). God as glory is light that shines and gives
us the light to see the face of God entering into days that can become so routine
we cannot see God present anymore. God as glory is the power that cracks open the
day and allows us to contemplate the present wonder of God's creation and our part
in that creation as another element in the unfolding glory of God. I happen to like
"Glory" hot sauce. I like the name but I also like what it does when I taste it.
Glory - that kale just came to life as never before! Sometimes, God as glory is
the way the day gains a little spice and seasoning so that we take another look
or taste at something we may not even like. Glory.
O God of love and new life, help us taste and see your glory and the way in which
it is eternally unfolding around us. Amen.
