This week: God as 'coming through the door'. If you have any comments - adebelak@redeemerluth.com. God as 'coming through the door' is the God who does not wait for us to make a decision about whether or not we believe in God or want God to be a part of our lives or need God to step in and help. God as 'coming through the door' is already at hand and making something new out of this time and day. There is not time to wonder about how things will be when God is present - that is already the case - God as 'coming through the door' becomes the shape of things as they can be. Will we greet our guest who comes to abide with us and shape us? Or, I need to really ask, how will we greet our guest who is already pitching God's tend among us - already at the table - already on the couch - already entering into the things within our day that are so ordinary we often miss seeing God enter. God as 'coming through the door' is the power in the room that calls forth promise and hope and love even when there is an expectation that the day may be going in another direction. O God of love and new life, what is it you will make with this day - our lives -the lives of our neighbors? It is most likely a part of the fulfillment of your promises. Thank you. Amen. |
