Redeemer Devotions for May 23, 2014

Adventures... in Hope - Redeemer Devotions 

The Reign of God as spilling forth. If you have any comments - adebelak@redeemerluth.com .

 

The Reign of God as spilling forth has been happening to each of us all week. How has it made an impact on who you are and what you were doing during the week? Remember, the most simple acts are a part of the transforming life that is handed to us each day - so don't overlook the little things. Sometimes, it is by seeing the little ways God's Reign changes us that we are encouraged to continue on along the way of Jesus. The Reign of God as spilling forth may have started a storm in our lives - a good drenching - a whirlwind that brings us into the need for massive rebuilding. We would do well to listen to one another to see how we are being disturbed by the Reign of God spilling forth into and all over our lives. It may be then that we let go of some of the fear and anxiety that keeps us from seeing the joy of that toddler running through the room and shaking up the place. That is why it is so important for you to tell me to 'come and see' and it is vital for me to say to you 'come and see' and it is the vision of the Reign of God that together we say to the stranger and the left out and the confused and the searcher 'come and see.' The Reign of God as spilling forth will never stop raining down upon us - al.

 

O God of love and new life, bring you love down upon us like a storm that leaves us drenched with your love. Amen.
