This week: God as moving on. If you have any comments - adebelak@redeemerluth.com . We can expect that injustice will be all around us but God as moving on will not stay in the middle of it all and let it dominate us. God as moving on is pressing or the way of truth and justice even when that way is being covered over by all the ways injustice finds ways to rule. God as moving on is like that itch that will not go away. God persistently raises a voice filled with the vision of that which is not yet. That vision does not settle for what is and it will not merely put up with what is and it will resist every attempt to keep things just as they are. God as moving on means to move us into a new place so that we will see the world around us with eyes able to discern how far away from the Reign of God even the most pious and religious actions will run. God as moving on does not settle for less than the Reign of God that is always coming right at us. O God of love and new life, open our eyes that we may see the movements of your Reign. Amen. |
