Redeemer Devotions for March 24, 2014

Adventures... in Hope - Redeemer Devotions 

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

 

God as creatively proceeding allows for us to begin again. It is now that God continues to make something of us and of all things. In this way, we are right in the midst of the possibility for things to be different and new and outside of what we have been able to control previously. God as creatively proceeding is a simple reminder that we can stay where we are and we can hold notions of the ways thing have been according to our intellect and vision - but God continues to unfold a truthfulness about God's Reign that is not complete. God as creatively proceeding does not have to settle with the limited way we see life and the limited way we forgive and the limited way we are able to approach the possibility of change. The way I am right now is to be someone who is at the beginning of a creative movement that may -quite simply- allow me to unveil a life to the world that is not the fixed character I have tried to make of myself. God as creatively proceeding is the God who reminds us that we are not caught up in images and notions and stereotypes of how relations work or how life is to proceed. God is always mixing up the pot of creation within the expectation that healing and wholeness and new life is on the way and even at hand.

 

O God of love and new life, remind us to let go of how we have made our own worlds and how we long to still rule all that is for us. Open our hearts to the creative genius that has been working among us from the very beginning of all things.  Amen.
