Two weeks from this moment I will be flying over the Atlantic ocean toward the country of Israel - the land in which the story of God's provision for our salvation was played out. I am extremely excited to have this opportunity to walk where Jesus walked and study in the land where the events of the Bible took place. This being the first time I have ever lived away from home, the emotions inside me, although excited, are not unmixed with a fear of the unknown. However, through these fears, I know that the same God that brought the children of Egypt through the Red Sea, that gave a shepherd boy the strength to slay a giant, and that raised Jesus from the dead is the same God that is protecting me and covering me with His mighty hand.
If I take the wings of the morning, And dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea,
Even there Your hand shall lead me,And Your right hand shall hold me.
Even there Your hand shall lead me,And Your right hand shall hold me.
- Psalm 139:9-10
