Redeemer Devotions for December 3, 2013

Adventures... in Hope - Redeemer Devotions 

This week: God as wonder. If you have any comments - adebelak@redeemerluth.com .

 

God as wonder is the power to move beyond anything we think is possible. Out there beyond the possible is another world that may be known by others but not yet a part of the reality in which we live. God as wonder opens doors so that we can go to a new place - listen to new voices - see other things that are able to come into view. God as wonder keeps inviting us to consider those powerful words "and then...."  We often don't go there. We often stay with what we know and that which we have experienced. That is fine. And yet, God as wonder helps us be open to a world of life that is still within the realm of God's Reign but is not the world we have come to know. God as wonder removes borders and boundaries to help us open our hearts to the possibility that God's love extends out into an endless space we have yet to consider.

 

O God of love and new life, even as we think of you we are drawn beyond ourselves and the world we created for ourselves. Guide us as we wonder and then attempt to wander in that through life we find new and strange. Amen.
