This week: God as "O My God". If you have any comments - adebelak@redeemerluth.com. God as 'O my God" is having the lion and the lamb right there in front of us - not merely in words - within reach and as real as can be. God as "O my God" brings promise right in front of us and somehow it is real - no longer a dream. God is the power for life that makes the unheard of - readily available and therefore we begin to spin a bit. God as "O my God" is like the window being open wide and we are hit in the face with a blast of wind that can momentarily take our breath away and then fills us with fresh breath - a gift. God as "O my God" is the sound and feel of the room when Jesus helped the bent-over woman stand straight up and be able to look everyone in the eye - OMG. Yes, the Reign of God comes through the doors of our lives and is able to change what has always been accepted as the way it is to be. It is not a controllable moment - it pushes itself into our lives - it disobeys the rules - it frees people for new life - it twists our tongues and makes us look at the day with wide eyes - like the eyes of a young child. O God of love and new life, we long to be swept up into the amazing power of life that you offer to us this day. Don't wait for us to jump in - grab us and pull us in so we can spin and dance within the creativity of your Reign. Amen. |
