We liked breakfast, so many choices
6 am wake-up
6.30 breakfast Marcello Alec and Carter
up to the bus
dropped off at the wadi
Deuteronomy 32:
In a desert land he found him (Israel)
In a barren and howling waste.
He shielded him and cared for him
he guarded him as the apple of his eye
first the path was wide
it got narrower
and more climbing
The desert is God's land
That's where we find out what's in our heart
there are caves, Bedouin will leave food for travelers
in such places
this cave floods in the rainy season
and has water in it for 3 weeks, quiet water
Psalm 23: He leads me beside quiet water
a mustard plant
Mathew 13:
the kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed
smallest seed, that's all God needs
walk a bit more
next lesson in the shade of an acacia
only a few of us fit under
desert is relentless
hot, beautiful
thirsty
this is the common shade "tree" of the desert
a broom tree or Rotum
Psalm 121: the Lord is your shade
(as close)
as your right hand
our Drayton area group
we keep going
Israel was 40 years in the desert
the meaning of 40=enough
Deuteronomy 8: Remember
how the Lord led you
all the way in the wilderness
these 40 years
to humble and test you
in order to know
what was in your heart
whether or not you would keep his commands
but a good hike
here I was running out of steam
after this I put electrolytes in all my water
at the end we met up with some camels
likely Bedouin
