There are endless reasons to praise God, and many of them are included in the Book of Psalms. Yesterday in Psalm 89 we found a contemplative song by Ethan the Ezrahite, who wanted to make God’s faithfulness known with his mouth. (Psalm 89:1) We saw how the psalmist asked God to let heaven participate in… Read More Today’s thought “Reasons to praise God” (February 21)

He and Liz… Read More Our Sunday service of May 18, 2025
The figure of a book of remembrance runs through the scripture. It is a figure, for the Eternal God neither changes nor forgets. But the thought is full of comfort for those who fear God. The earliest reference is in the words of Moses when with self-effacing love for the people for whom he was… Read More Today’s thought “A book written by God” (February 20)
“And upon the nobles of the children of Israel he laid not His hand: and they beheld God (RV) and did eat and drink.” Those who have been called to Mount Zion enjoy a similar experience.

2 Peter 3 – In Psalm 90 Moses reflects upon the eternity of God, and the fleeting nature of man: God is from everlasting, but man passes away like the grass of the Eastern fields, and if his years are prolonged beyond the normal span, “their pride is but labour and sorrow, for it is… Read More Today’s thought “Using the time” (December 15)
Exodus 10 The conflict between Jehovah and Pharaoh continues, as the King of Righteousness and the King of Sin confront each other. The plagues continue as Pharaoh’s Heart of Sin hardens each time.

Question: How to understand the miracles told in the Bible in connection with Moses – the parting of the Red Sea? Dr. Steiner: You see, that is less … Moses and the crossing of the Red Sea
Whilst the heavenly hosts of stars and the earthly beauties of nature may stir our emotions, they are silent about our deepest needs and are heedless of our cries for help. When the Lord passed before Moses He proclaimed not the great wonders of His power but: “The Lord, the Lord, a God full of… Read More Today’s Thought: In these things I delight
There is an interesting lesson in today’s reading from Exodus. It appears that Moses was tiring himself out with the task of ‘judging’ the people, or more likely opining on their problems or resolving their disputes. This was no doubt time well spent and those who benefited would appreciate his help but it was hard… Read More Today’s thought “Moses tiring himself out” (February 18)
Some people have been better at waiting for some weeks than others. When Moses ascended Sinai the people left behind had no idea how long he would be gone. They might have expected Moses back later that day, or the following day perhaps. So when he did not arrive things started to go wrong. They… Read More Tired of waiting

Speak no more unto Me of this matter – Deut 3: 26 This was no act of caprice on God’s part but one charged with the greatest import.

Nearly three months had passed since the people saw the Egyptians dead upon the sea shore. The drama of the plagues had been fresh in their minds then. Since then, water had been miraculously provided, then bread, ‘the manna from heaven’ and quails. How much these experiences should have impressed them! Now “Israel encamped before… Read More Today’s thought “If you will indeed obey …” (February 10)
This morning we looked at those who are in Christ Jesus who will not be judged as sinners but are taken on by God as His children.

Today’s thought “When Jesus saw their faith” (August 07) In Mark’s Gospel today we have the familiar and much loved account of the paralysed man who was carried by his four friends on a bed to Jesus and “when they could not get near him because of the crowd” they carried him up and “removed… Read More Today’s thought “When Jesus saw their faith” (August 07)
Jesus Is Greater than Moses Today we look at three letters of the apostle Paul to the Hebrews.

And he will make you more… Read More Today’s thought “The haughtiness of man shall be humbled” (May 13)
“This day you have become …” Our readings today began by telling us how “Moses and the elders of Israel” made a special effort to make all the tribes who were about to enter the promised land “keep the whole commandment that I command you today” (Deuteronomy 27:1).
