The Reign of God as keeping on despite the facts. If you have any comments - adebelak@redeemerluth.com . The Reign of God as keeping on despite the facts is the insistence that the facts of the day are not what rules us or guides us. The facts may say everything is going down the tube but our lives may be rising and looking to encounter the newness that others do not see. I always marvel at people whose lives look as though they would be unbearable - at least more than I could ever endure. And yet, they are keeping on despite the facts of the world around them. More than that, they seem to be vitally alive and able to also take on whatever else comes their way. The Reign of God as keeping on despite the facts is a show of another way of seeing the facts around us - another way of reading them - another way of living into and through them. We are invited into the life of this Reign everyday despite the facts. O God of love and new life, keep us anchored in your promises throughout this day. Amen. |
