Redeemer Devotions for March 12, 2014

Adventures... in Hope - Redeemer Devotions 

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

 

God as defiant is the God who is with us so that we can be still. That stillness is a sign of the assurance of God's will to bring us along and follow God alone. We can be still because God will defiantly keep stepping into our lives to make life change. We do not need to take on the world. We are to trust in the God who will make things new. God as defiant nurtures us and gives a place in which we can be still. In that stillness comes the Spirit who turns us away from the gods of the world and all of its powers and allows us to rest in God alone. Resting in God alone is active - stillness is also active. God as defiant helps us to be still so that when we are to act up defiantly - we will be able and willing.  

 

O God of love and new life, come make us still and in that stillness bring us to life in you alone. Amen.
