Todays God Pause: Sunday, February 02, 2014 To Be Your Presence, ELW 546 Being called to be Gods presence in the world is no easy calling. In fact, sometimes it can feel daunting, overwhelming, even burdensome. We look around and see mountains of pain and valleys of despair caused by human greed and injustice, and we wonder if we can make any kind of a difference. But look again at Delores Duffners simple text. It is punctuated by an alleluia. To be Gods presence is not a burden; it is a blessing and a privilege. Blessed are those who speak up for the broken and oppressed. Blessed are those who speak words of hope. Blessed are those who show the love of God to neighbor and adversary alike. What greater mission can there be? What greater privilege exists, than to be Gods presence in the world? Doesnt being part of such a mission deserve an alleluia? Or even a lifetime of alleluias? The text for todays hymn cannot be published due to copyright limitations. We apologize for the inconvenience. When we are weighed down by the burden of your calling, O God, renew the joy of your mission within us. Amen. Alleluia! Scott Tunseth General Editor, Fortress Press, Minneapolis, Minn.
