Friday, Advent Two - Anxiety & Freedom
“God did not say, ‘seek me in chaos’. Embrace the chaos, face it full and acknowledge it. But do not be excessively fascinated by the loss, failure, and brutality. Do not linger there too long as though that is God's place of disclosure. Instead watch for God to move powerfully out beyond the chaos to form a new world, a new community, new persons, new possibility.”
Walter Brueggemann, A Gospel of Hope, page 35.
