The Reign of God as rising. If you have any comments - adebelak@redeemerluth.com . The Reign of God as rising is a word of hope because right when we are not seeing any evidence to the in-breaking of God's Reign, there it is. Sometimes it is rising out of all the junk within our lives - the stuff we want to leave behind and forget. And yet, even there is the Reign of God rising up to reveal the life it brings. Quite often, out of that which is the refuse of our lives comes a view of how this Reign appears. We can be so much in pursuit of the things of the world around us that we simply miss how the power of God to bring new life is rising up all around us. It is very easy to notice and dwell on the absence of God's Reign. With that, we are also missing the opportunity to what is rising even when we can only feel and see absence. O God of love and new life, help us to pause and look again at what we so often drive by or move through without noticing your presence. Amen. |
