This week: God as waiting. If you have any comments - adebelak@redeemerluth.com. Get on board - God as waiting is ready. It easily can become too long before we step on board the way of freedom and hopefulness that is already in place. And yet, that way is presently available and there are signs pointing to the way so that we do not get lost. And yet, we readily turn away and walk in directions that are no where near the gift of life that our God is handing us. God as waiting is waiting with a gift - a promise - a reality that may not look or taste or feel like the one we claim to control. Well - it is a gift unlike anything we think we control or will control. In fact, God as waiting brings life for us and will wait for us to let go of what we want. God as waiting is present with a new life and yet God will wait through our need to control and our manufactured ways of saying what is good and right - ways that too often make us lose sight of our God who is presently waiting again. Isn't it odd how we so desperately hang on to the way we want things - as though we are our own gods - and are so eager to forget about the life our God is holding out for us even now. O God of love and new life, pull us on board and hold on for we too easily find ways to jump off the freedom train of your Holy Reign of life. Amen. |
