The Reign of God as movement. If you have any comments - adebelak@redeemerluth.com . The Reign of God as movement may simply be enough of a move to cause us to turn our heads and wonder about what just happened. No grand drama - no bright lights - no shaking of the earth, just a simple movement. Consider even a gentle hand on your shoulder or a simple word of support spoken or the smile of someone walking by. The Reign of God as movement happens all the time. Too often, our lives can be so cluttered by our attempts to be silent or our attempts to stay busy that we deny ourselves the opportunity to be moved by the God who has a long history of moving ordinary folks into lives in which the ordinary expression of life appear extraordinary. The Reign of God as movement is enough of a move to help us turn from bitterness to humor. That is not an easy move and yet it is vital to the revealing nature of God's Reign. It is enough to move us from the violence that comes too easy to all of us and therefore, begin to see a snapshot of God's peaceable Reign. O God of love and new life, as you move us inspire us to go along with it all and follow the flow of your Reigning presence. Amen. |
