Redeemer Devotions for January 2, 2014

Adventures... in Hope - Redeemer Devotions 

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

 

God as insecurity is looking out at the year that is already starting to show itself and yet we are not certain where things will go or how we will finish the year. God as insecurity abides with us and will be with us right along the way no matter what happens along the way. Yes, there is a bit of insecurity when we trust our God to be the God that is promised. For that God does not promise to give us life as we want or expect it. God as insecurity will offer us a year of faithfulness and it may not look all that appealing. Just think of Abraham who is told to offer his only son, Isaac - utter insecurity - utter fear - utter confusion. But we are invited to follow this God even when the path ahead of us in not clearly in our control. God as insecurity draws us into questions that may no have answers and predicaments that may stretch us beyond who we think we are or who we think we have been. I don't think any of us want to go there - and yet, God bids us to come.

 

O God of love and new life, lead the way beyond our control - we will follow.   Amen.
