I was reading about Isaac's life spent in present day Negev. I was touched by his wandering, nomadic, pilgriming lifestyle. Going from crisis to crisis, test to test believing in God trusting God and waiting on God. I relate to Isaac's wanderings within my own spirit. That of a wanderer searching for her place of rest.
Two thousand years before Christ, Isaac already experienced God's promise that if we come to God and take His yoke upon us with a meek and lowly heart we will experience rest in the deepest part of our being.
My study also talked about Isaac waiting on God's best for a wife. I think about my own children. I'm praying for God's best for their spouses. Can I wait as patiently and as confidently as Isaac?
I heard a song about coming home to Israel the melody and words were calling to my soul. I have such a desire to visit Israel and walk where Jesus walked. To experience the land of my forefathers in a new way. I know I'll be going soon I just don't know when.
