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 seems to move us beyond the present that may be oppressive - depressive - overwhelming. We can all find ourselves at a point in or day in which there seems no way for any redemption or any new life to break in and claim us and move us. Days can become like that - no witness to a new world available so that we may be rescued and set free. The Reign of God as keeping on despite the facts is called hope. It is sitting right out there for us to enter and begin again. And yet, we may not be able to see beyond the facts of the day that often own our hearts and are able to do so well at misdirecting us. We are invited to never be held back by what is or that which appears to be in control of the world around us. Despite it all, we live boldly. O God of love and new life, take us into the fullness of your presence. Amen. |
