Daily Bread

When I started composing this devotional I was reminded of one I wrote in September 2024.

There is something remarkable about the way Moses’ life ends. Moses had been one of the greatest leaders Israel had ever known.

There is an ache in this verse.

At the end of his long journey, Moses climbed Mount Nebo, and God showed him the whole land of promise.

There is a moment in Psalm 42 when the psalmist stops talking to God and starts talking to their own soul:
“Why are you cast down, O my soul, and why are you disquieted within me? Hope in God.” I know something about having conversations with my soul.

Some Sunday mornings, I arrive at church before the sun rises.

When my grandchildren work on a jigsaw puzzle, they often hold up a strange piece and ask, “Where does this one go?”

In Exodus 33 God and Moses are discussing the next steps for the Israelites.

Moses had just prayed, “Show me your glory.”

There is something beautiful about Moses being hidden in the cleft of the rock.
