www - What Went Wrong

We just spent our 2nd full day in Israel! I have tried to put into words some of the high-lights or take-always from this trip. We are having a blast and the weather is amazing but none of that even compares to the Biblical teaching we are getting. I feel like I have just been introduced to a whole new Bible that  I’ve been reading in a different language and didn’t even realize it. The people and places and stories have come to life in a whole new way. God is so much bigger and greater than I ever imagined  and He is in every single detail of  this world and He has such purpose and meaning in every single word in His Word and in this world and we have barely scratched the surface.

One of the common themes as we have read scripture together as we travel to these Biblical sights is :  WWW. WHAT WENT WRONG??  So many stories that start a certain way and then it just goes sideways, so rather than just glossing over it or accepting it, as is...we dig for the answers of WWW?  WHAT WENT WRONG???  Every story is a little different but the bottom line is always the same...a wrong view of God? One example of this is:
What is the difference between Egypt and Israel?

Egypt depends on the Nile for water.  Israel cries out to God for rain.  Both the Nile  and the rain are from God but one realizes it and the other does not.

Whether we live by the Nile or live in the desert may we realize it all comes from God and may we cry out to Him, depend on Him alone, and thank Him for everything!
