It looks dark down there, let's go!

Tuesday July 17th, Colossians 1: 13-14 God rescued us from dead-end alleys and dark dungeons. He's set us up in the kingdom of the Son he loves so much, the Son who got us out of the pit we were in, got rid of the sins we were doomed to keep repeating. And we still keep repeating those sins. That is our life, living forgiven and living as sinners, each and everyone of us. The way Luther said it was that we are at the same time saints and sinners. What God did was rescue us from dead-end alleys, our job it to learn what it means to walk in the light. It is an adventure each and every day and it is amazing how often we turn the corner and head down toward those back alleys again. That is when God tries to turn our focus back toward the light. Sometimes we listen.
