Israel 2017 (day 3)

Wow, went to so many sights today. Walked another 11,800 steps. We left our hotel and traveled North along the Mediterranean Sea Coast to the sight where the ancient port of Caesarea  which included an arena for sports and a theater where individuals went to learn. 

It was beautiful  to look out and picture in my mind the different locations and the activities which took place there.  The wars, construction, demolition,  and how King Harod built Caesarea for "earthy sinful  things" and God used it to spread the Gospel (Acts 10:1-48). 

Then we traveled to Mount Carmel and talked about Elijah and what took place with showing the power of the One True God, and how after that he went to Horab and left the people without a prophet  (1 Kings 19:8).

"Don't underestimate  the power of God. Don't overestimate  your importance. It is God who has the power and accomplishes all things."

We traveled through Mount Carmel and through the Jezreel Valley.  and the Jezreel Valley is home to Megiddo, the location  of the battle of Armageddon.

We went through Nazareth  and though there are now "modern" buildings I could picture little homes and people of Bible times going about their day.

We made a few other stops and finally made it to the Sea of Galilee. We will be able to see it when it becomes daylight.  There is so much to take in and see. Looking forward to tomorrow. 

By the way, for our friend Jeff: Tom and I really enjoy the hummus and the stuff at home will never measure up again.  It's so good.

Are you feeling alone?!

Have you ever felt alone? Like there was no one there for you? No one to hear you, to lift you up to say it's going to be okay! No one! Have you ever felt like you're sinking and that there's no one to pull you out, to rescue you. In Hebrew 13:5b the Lord said, "I will never leave you nor forsake you."  If you think you are alone, I am here to say that you are NOT! If you have a relationship with Christ Jesus our Lord you are NOT alone. The Lord, He will never leave you. He is with you through the storm.  In the book of Matthew the disciples climbed into a boat to go to the other side of the Sea of Galilee. When evening came a storm came up and as the disciples looked out onto the storm, they were terrified when they saw Jesus walking on the water. They thought He was a ghost . Jesus said to them, "Do not be afraid."  Peter answered Him, " Lord if it is You, command me to come to You on the water." Jesus answered, "Come....

"With You I am completely Full"

I wrote these short passages a couple weeks ago and I thought that I would share them with you all! "I may be weak, small, frail, insignificant. But with You, oh Lord, I am strong, mighty, big, important, loved, content. Without You, I am nothing, but with you I am completely full. Fill up my cup and let it overflow!" "Lord all I am I surrender. Give me faith to trust what You say! Give me faith to follow what You want me to do every step of the way. Lord take everything in my life it is Yours. Guide me as I walk the walk of faith. Hear my prayers, o Lord... In Your faithfulness answer me. You are faithful. O God, You hear my cries and You answer me in Your appointed time."
