It is my sixth day here in Israel. I am a little tired because we have been going nonstop since we arrived. I am excited about what God is doing in my heart.
We are actually on our way from Tiberias to the Dead Sea today.
On our way our first stop was a Crusader fortress from around 1200-1300 A.D. I am amazed at what people were able to do without all the wonders of modern technology!
My favorite stop of the day was at En Gedi! This was the place that David cut off a piece of Saul's garment while he was in a cave. This is the place where David was hiding. It is filled with caves all around. They really don't know which cave that this happened but we know from scripture that this is the place where it took place!
Next we came to the Dead Sea which is 10 times more salty than the ocean. Because of that nothing can live in the water! I always used to think the Dead Sea was black, but I was wrong! It is a deep blue color with salt deposits all around it! It is very beautiful, but the water is lifeless!
Today, thankfully, they allowed us some time to rest and relax! Tomorrow we are traveling to the Valley of Elah where David killed Goliath!
Blessings,
Pastor Jason
