Another ordinary day. Took the car in for MOT this morning, so I’m hoping there won’t be anything too remarkable about the day. Walked some of the same paths I did yesterday, but none of the spectacular mists today – altogether much more mundane.
In Sunday’s Old Testament reading, we read about Moses’ bargaining with God. This kind of inner dialogue is quite slippery to understand, but one of the things that comes across to me is Moses’ doubts and need for assurance. Someone who may also have experienced God’s presence (probably aided by a head injury) was Harriet Tubman, nicknamed ‘Moses’, who conducted 70 enslaved people to freedom. I mentioned the film about her on 11th October. She couldn’t have done what she did without experiencing fear and doubt. But she overcame those things.
