Reflection for the Week- February 16th, 2009
Present breakdowns can push us back to the past or forward to the future. A Scriptural vision sets out before us the following. Remembering that God has redeemed our pasts and projecting that he will completely redeem us in the future is to translate into a living hope for the present. Living hope for the present does not mean that all will go well in the here and now, but it does show us ever so extravagantly that our life stories are connected to the God of the past, present, and future. He powerfully and gently holds us in his hands.
