Redeemer Devotions for August 22, 2014

Adventures... in Hope - Redeemer Devotions 

 

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

 

The Reign of God as rising in the middle of all that we will enter today. We can count on that. This Reign is rising - always rising within our hearts and hopes. It may not yet be the shape of the day or visible in the plans we make, yet it will rise and we will gain a vision of something more than how the world would usually move along the way. The Reign of God as rising may simply be a part of a fleeting moment that causes us to consider another way to act - to bring peace - to be an expression of love even as there is no place where love can be seen. This also means that as the moments of our lives move by, this Reign of God just keeps rising up to be experienced. Sometimes, though, it is only as we have experience the death of what is that we are caught up by the sight of how God's Reign still rises and we are able to be there in the middle of it all.

 

O God of love and new life, take us up into the character of your Reign this day.  Amen.
