23.01.2022 We are so eager to celebrate Christmas we thought Advent started today but it's not until next Sunday. Nevertheless, Advent is a time when the Church at large reflects on and looks forward to the celebration of the coming of Jesus. Here's a Kindness Calendar with suggestions to share love and joy during Advent. Feel free to make the kindness acts your own. http://www.shelivesfree.com//acts-kindness-christmas-count

12.01.2022 Here is this week's devotional thought. Watch the video or read below! ‘Then the cloud covered the Tent of Meeting, and the glory of the Lord filled the tab...ernacle.’ (Exodus 40:34) With this devotional we conclude our reflections on the Book of Exodus. It’s a remarkable story of God’s ways with humanity made in his image. As Exodus begins, Israel is oppressed by a tyrannical Pharaoh; when the Book ends they live in freedom. As Exodus begins they are building cities for Pharaoh; when the Book comes to a close Israel is building a tabernacle in which to worship God. In the 29th chapter of Exodus, God says, ‘I will dwell among the Israelites, and I will be their God. And they shall know that I am the Lord their God, who brought them out of the land of Egypt that I might dwell among them’ (Exodus 29:45-46). The tabernacle is a dwelling place for God, the Creator of the universe. Israel knows, and we know, that the Creator of galaxies cannot be confined in a humanly constructed tabernacle. But in grace God chooses a dwelling place to meet with those whom he has liberated from slavery. The Book of Exodus emphasizes that the tabernacle is constructed in full obedience to God’s instructions. And yet human understanding and skillful hands also contribute to its construction (see Exodus 36:1). The tabernacle is built not out of compulsion but with glad and willing hearts. The 35th chapter of Exodus tells us that ‘All the Israelite men and women, whose hearts made them willing to bring anything for the work that the Lord had commanded by Moses, brought it as a freewill offering to the Lord’ (Exodus 35:29). In contrast to the forced labour of Pharaoh’s taskmasters, the Israelites construct this holy tabernacle in freedom. They have begun to understand something of God’s saving grace, and freely respond to it. The final chapter in Exodus notes that when the work of constructing the tabernacle was finished, ‘the cloud covered the Tent of Meeting, and the glory of the Lord filled the tabernacle’ (Exodus 40:34). The glory of God filled this tabernacle constructed by human hands in the wilderness. Central to this story in Exodus is the person named Moses. Drawn from the River Nile as a child, raised in the privileges of Egyptian royalty, Moses chooses to identify with his own people, the Hebrews. Forced to flee for his life, Moses encounters God at a burning bush. There he learns that God has a purpose for his life, a calling. This calling means confronting oppressive power; it means leading a stubborn people; it includes face-to-face conversations with God; and it requires the courage to intercede with God for the sake of his people. God knew what he was doing. God knew Moses by name. God knew this man’s character, and trusted Moses. After forty years in the wilderness, the Book of Deuteronomy tells the story as Israel is about to enter the land of promise. In its final chapter, we read that God takes Moses to an elevated place and shows him that future. Then God said to Moses, ‘This is the land I promised. I have let you see it with your own eyes, but you will not cross over into it’ (Deuteronomy 34:4). Moses saw God’s future, but he was not to travel that future himself. Moses faced a boundary. In the Book of the Psalms there is only one Psalm that is attributed to Moses, and that is Psalm 90. Let’s imagine Moses standing at the top of Mount Nebo, facing this boundary, and praying the concluding words of this 90th Psalm. Listen carefully to the prayer of this Psalm: May the favour of the Lord our God rest upon us; establish the work of our hands for us yes, establish the work of our hands. (Psalm 90:17) Moses entrusted his work to God. He prayed that God would take the work of his hands and establish it, that God would confirm it, and serve the greater purposes of God. Like Moses, each of us will come to a boundary where we can no longer continue with the work of our calling. There will be many reasons for this. But this does not mean that our work comes to an end. With Moses we place our work in God’s hands and ask this liberating God to establish it, confirm it, and give our work his blessing. Let us all trust God to confirm the work of our hands. Amen!
