This week: God as "O My God". If you have any comments - adebelak@redeemerluth.com. God as 'O my God" is the sound of amazement. The amazement takes place whenever the peace and loving kindness of our God become visible among us. It is an exclamation point. That's it, God as exclamation point. God as look at what can be - look at what is promised - look at what just tipped over the powers of the world - OMG. God as "O my God' may simply be one way that the Spirit of God makes us speak in tongues. We cannot bring together the words to express the incarnation of God's Reign and therefore we bring forth the wonder and amazing wealth of God's visible Reign as a simple "O my God. I think we all need to be ready to experience this God who pulls us out of our way of seeing things from day-to-day so we can stumble a bit - into the hopefulness we once thought was merely a dream. O God of love and new life, be the amazing power of new life that never stops offering us another glimpse of the grace and love that comes to life within your peaceable Reign. Amen. |
