We have been playing with, pondering, pursuing, and practicing the truth of Genesis 2. One of the first, foundational, formational truths of Scripture is that from the very beginning God commits to relationship. Many will say that God is relationship in the form of the Trinity – the Creator, Liberator, and Sustainer.
God is at work co-authoring and co-creating the art project called, “Your Life”.
So here is my invitation to patiently pay attention today:
Where does God appear in your story today as Creator? Maybe as you walk in creation or as you pick up that paint brush tentatively to try to paint on canvas or as you write or find yourself in conversation. You can do it! Or to try to pen a poem. You can do it! Or to use that bread machine you haven’t touched in years. You can do it!
Where does God show up as Liberator? Maybe in words you speak from your heart. Maybe in setting you free from the negative soundtracks in your life. Maybe in your work for justice.
Where does God appear as a Sustainer, giving you strength when you are at the final tread of your proverbial rope? Or allowing yourself the grace to step off the treadmill of life and not measure today by how many things you crossed off your to-do list.
Pay attention to
God as a character in the narrative life today.
And may God, who is a verb – an active source and ground of being in
your life, be experienced and encountered in beautiful ways today. Amen.
