This week: God as in our shoes. If you have any comments - adebelak@redeemerluth.com . God as in our shoes will take us into new life. New life means it may not be like walking the way we walked yesterday. God as in our shoes will move us wherever the ever-expanding Reign of God is headed. This may not be pleasant at first. It may even be outrageous and frightening. Outrageous because God move in ways we cannot control. Frightening because God moves in ways that bring us face-to-face with opportunities to put into life the acts of justice and peace and forgiveness that we often try to avoid. God as in our shoes is God here - right here - working with all that we are - nothing more and nothing less. That places us at the very center of God's promised life that comes to all and for all time. God as in our shoes is like a toddler who stands on her/his parents feet as the parent walks and the child goes along as though on a ride. We are on that ride within the Reign of God. God as in our shoes promises to take us - as us - beyond our lock-in-step lives. O God of love and new life, we long to follow you into the unfolding of your Reign among us. Step into our shoes with us and be the encouragement to be a part of the unfolding of your gracious Reign. Amen. |
