The Experiences of Israel

The Experiences of Israel…

When leaving Israel after our tours, people are often sad because there are so many experiences that spoke to them coming to an end. In life, most people live for experiences, even believers.

They talk about experiences in the Lord, experiences in His Spirit, and that’s great, but the difference between experiences in the Lord Himself is, it’s not the end. The experience is not the destination. Don’t make the experiences of the Lord your aim, but the Lord of the experiences.

It’s not about how great the service was, because the services aren’t the point, the Lord is the point. Pilgrimages to Israel end, so do services and songs. But the Lord of the pilgrimage, the Lord of the song, He doesn’t.

Take His beauty from Galilee, His love from Gethsemane, and the price of His love from Calvary. It’s great that you have experiences of the Lord, but go deeper. Get beyond the experience of the Lord… to the Lord of the experience… Because when every experience has faded away , the Lord will still be there,

“He himself bore our sins” in his body on the cross so that we might die to sins and live for righteousness; “by his wounds you have been healed.” For “you were like sheep going astray,” but now you have returned to the Shepherd and Overseer of your souls. 1 Peter 2:24-25

Walk with Him, talk with Him, and share with Him all of your experiences today.

Walk daily with God at your side!

Love always,

Ed
