Harrisena Church Worship Bulletin July 26th

Sitting here on earth we wait in hope and faith. We sit with the blanket of God’s promises resting upon our laps. We stare out the window waiting for God to roll down our street in a brand new Cadillac or pushing a pram with a cooing child. We wait, we watch. What we are looking for is hard to describe. 

We are looking for a small bit of sustenance when the ground dries up. We are looking for a little life in a deathly world. We are searching for the smell of paperwhites as we walk into the doctor’s office. We are watching for the easy ways in which children hug each other. We are listening for all those echoes of God’s promises in the world. These faint echoes that resemble and initiate what will become.

The truth is, we don’t hear these echoes as often as we’d like. Is it because we have become unable to distinguish such sound?  Or have we decided that there is no need to spend our busy lives on echoes?  Most of our life is spent waiting for some vision of God. And yet, much of life is filled with these echoes, the lively brilliance of the Creator right here, right now.  Shalom
