Members and Friends of Austin Mennonite Church
I pray you are anticipating the future with confidence and contentment.
Circumstances do not create our destiny. Regardless of what is going on
around us, in spite of the plans and actions of the wise and
intelligent, the powerful and aggressive, we live in a bounded field
where order and design will prevail. It is impossible for us to see this
stability most of the time. We read about teenagers being shot by
Israeli soldiers in the West Bank; we know about floods that disrupt and
kill; we despair when we promote non violent solutions for conflict that
have no impact on our government’s obsession to kill for oil. Yet the
righteous ruler is coming. With gentleness and humility God will
prevail. Let us dare to believe this. These thoughts will compose the
sermon for this next Sunday, 'Being gentle and humble ..and okay with it.'
May it go well with you. Sincerely,
Garland Robertson
