This week: God as evolving. If you have any comments - adebelak@redeemerluth.com. What are you looking for your God to be for you? I think we all want God to be the God we want. And yet, God as evolving will not let us put God into the box we think is the right one. God as evolving keeps moving the box until we are able to simply give up on our attempts to wrap it all up just as we like. That can be a humbling experience. God as evolving keeps pulling us beyond the place in which we have just become settled so that we will be ready for a fresh revelation that will open our eyes to something we just could not believe before being pulled along the way. God as evolving is not a God that offer us new shackles and chains and a list of restrictions. God as evolving keeps loosening the shackles and removing the chains and presenting us with a list of endless opportunities in which the grace of God will begin to alter our presence in the world. God as evolving will change up everything - even God as we like God to be. O God of love and new life, take us with you. Amen. |
