This week: God as 'coming through the door'. If you have any comments - adebelak@redeemerluth.com. Before you opened this devotion God as 'coming through the door' was - yes, in the room - already with you - not asking if it was time for a visit or if you were ready. Before that breath that you take in before you even realize that you are breathing in a part of the new day - the door is open and the room is full of the presence of our God who will take us along the way. Before we get all washed up - fed - dressed and ready to go, God as 'coming through the door' has invited us into the life God brings in through the door and set before us. This is not some kind of puppet God. This is God whose Reign is already in place and we are invited through the door God has already opened and is ready to walk through that door and face the world around us as though that is just what we - the beloved of this God - will do. I need such a proactive - come-along-with-me - God who is filling the room with hopefulness even before I think about it. O God of love and new life, welcome into the day that you have made and the life you have ready for us. Amen. |
