The Reign of God as announcement. If you have any comments - adebelak@redeemerluth.com . The Reign of God as announcement continues even after celebrations have ended and families have been dispersed and there seems to be rubbish piling up and leftovers waiting to be finished off. The day after the day that has brought folks together is a day that really needs the announcement of God's Reign to ring out. The day after all the celebration can be painfully quiet and despairing. The Reign of God as announcement does not let that pain and despair rule any day. Therefore even today - beloved are you - holy are you - precious are you - worthy are you - forever and ever. The Reign of God as announcement never can be shut up or shut out - even when the evidence of the day seems to say it is. For right when we are sold on the notion that all is lost and we and the day at hand are worthless - The Reign of God as announcement will interrupt - I pray that it is doing that right now. O God of love and new life, without your voice ringing in our ears, we can forget about promises and be caught up in the mire of discontent. Hold us and move us again, Lord God. Amen. |
