"Could the world be about to turn?"
We're not sure. Sometimes it doesn't feel like healthy, Spirit-filled transformation is catching us up in the magnificence of creation. Instead, it can feel like we're dragging each other along, bickering about the details and guarding what was once the most important thing. All the more reason to wonder aloud in song! When we sing and pray about the possibility of the Spirit's work, we're more likely to long for it, sense it and move with it. The way we sing and pray in the present has the capacity to change our future. Own those question marks, sisters and brothers, and own the possibilities that the Lord has in store for us.
Prayer
God of change, thank you for weaving your promises through our human story and for calling us forward into the possibilities of things still to come. Give us courage to wonder and hope when we sing out as the body of Christ. Amen.
