We went to a mall today where our guide showed us a synagogue inside the mall. Every mall has a synagogue. The reason is, if it is time to pray you have to pray, so the Jews must have a place to pray!
Not only was there a synagogue but there was also a bomb shelter. Every home must have a bomb shelter!
Today (Friday) is Shabat (sabbath), it begins at around 7pm and the whole country is shutting down, literally!
I think of the United States and how we treat our day of rest! Sunday is just another day in the States. People are doing whatever comes to their heart to do. In Israel it is a time when parents sit down and read the scriptures to their sons and daughters! They spend time together as a family on purpose on the Sabbath. I just wonder how much different not only our lives, and marriages would be, but how much different would our country be if we purposely took time once a week for God and our family? Just something to think about?
At this very moment I am sitting on top of a mountain under a tree that overlooks the Sea of Galilee and the Golan Heights. I have a picture below of my view.
As I sit here my mind is flooded with praise for The Lord, and a freshness in my spirit that I have not known before now! I am truly overwhelmed by the reality of God and His Word!
We need a fresh revelation of God and His Word! That is the only thing that will change our families, change our churches, and change our nation!
Our guide just brought me some hot coffee! No wonder this is called the land of promise, a good situation just got even better! LOL!
I know some of you have been following me as I have traveled this week, and I have been trying to report and comment on each place that I have traveled. But the truth is that, God is everywhere! This place is where the Bible happened and it has been a blessing and honor to be here and see things that I may never see again in this life. I only wish Granny could see the pictures and hear the stories that I have to tell!
God is with us! We have a work to do and the time is now! Jesus lives and has anointed us and called us to this work! All of you who are in our church I beg you, find a work to do and do it! We are leaving now I am getting off this mountain! May God richly bless you all until I see you again!
