The Shephelah

The longest journey is often getting information from the head to the heart.” – Brad Bell

Day one in the land of Israel and things are already beginning to blur. There are so many incredibly rich passages connected to each site that we visit. It can be overwhelming and even feel impossible to absorb the impactful teachings of God’s Word but Rick, Brad, and Mike do an incredible job of leaving us with one specific challenge of application for each story that we hear. As we bussed and hiked through the low hills of the Shephelah today, here are a few challenging thoughts and questions we were given to wrestle with...

Kiriath Jearim: God is not a rabbit’s foot (1 Sam. 5-6)

Beth Shemesh: There is no middle ground; God doesn’t want part of you He wants all of you and all of your life. (Num. 6)

Broken Cistern: What are the things that you value more than God? Only He can satisfy (Jer. 2:12-13)

Azekah: What are the giants in your life? (1 Sam. 17)

Caves of Adullam: Where do you find refuge? (Psalm 57)

Lachish: Where do you find your strength? (2 Kings 18)

Beer She’va: What is the great call in your life? (Gen. 12:1-3)

Today was a long, exciting and exhausting day as we began our journey through the land of Israel but looking back at the powerful stories in God’s Word was a great reminder that the most important journey is the journey from the head to the heart as God desires to have all of us.
