Day 5 Masada






After the bread and tea session, we headed for the Masada. Climbing up the back way and down the front was quite a workout. Treated with Orange Juice courtesy of RVL was very nice! Am still amazed at how these men built this huge city on top of this rock mountain. Even with today's technology and equipment, it would be a difficult task. But doing it by hand in temperatures of up to 120 degrees, that's hard work!

I'll NEVER forget standing at the bottom of Masada after climbing down the serpentine path and looking back UP.....Suddenly I understood:

God Is My Strong Tower
God Is My Rock
God Is My Mighty Fortress

My mind is so full of images...

Blessings,
Spencer

I remember Ray's comment up there: "Herod, was it worth it?"

And just "next door", our King Jesus was born in a sheepfold. A King of LOVE. A kingdom that never ends.
