Who gets to say who we are?

Who do we trust, really?

Who gets the first and the loudest say?

We trust God for who we are.

We listen to God for what to do.

We trust God for how it will go.

We don't need faith or wisdom.

We need faith and wisdom.

Where are you inviting God to re-order your life?

Begin by doing what we know God has said.

What has God already said, even if it feels counterintuitive?

Rescue from oppression would not be enough if it wasn't also rescue to God!

Rescue from _______ would not be enough it it wasn't also rescue to God!

God, what is getting in the way of trusting you?
" ______, you have too many/much ______ with you..."

Begin by doing what we know God has said.

Continue by doing what God is saying now...

“The reorientation is always a surprise and a gift. It always comes to us just when we thought it not possible, when we could not see how it be wrought in the present circumstance.

The reorientation is not an achievement coming from us.

It is not an automatic 'next stage' ordained in our body, but it is something we receive when we did not expect it at all. Life falls into patterns of wholeness where we did not think it could happen precisely and only because God is at work.

And when it happens, it is always a surprise, always a gift of graciousness, and always an experience that evokes gratitude.”

- Walter Brueggemann, Praying the Psalms
