Today we visited the Golan Heights, where we had a gorgeous view of the tallest mountain in Israel, Mt. Hermon. Yes, that’s snow you’re seeing. And yes there’s skiing in Israel.
When the snow melts on Hermon, it trickles down into three streams that flow into and make up the Jordan River. This river flows into the Sea of Galilee, which is the major source of drinking water for Israelis and Jordanians alike. After leaving here, the Jordan River picks up again where it empties into the Dead Sea. It’s called the Dead Sea because you can’t drink the water and it’s pretty much devoid of life. The reason for this is that the Dead Sea has no outlet; thus it becomes extremely salty.
Healthy children of God not only Entertain the truth, but they Exercise the truth by faith as well. If we want to become more like Jesus, we need the truth by which we can filter out the lies that already exist in our brains and to keep out the lies that want to get in. We must store up truth like the water in the Sea of Galilee. It can’t stop there though. We must exercise or practice those truths in our everyday lives. If not, we become like the Dead Sea. Lots of knowledge/water that’s totally unusable.
Your life will become stagnate if you don’t practice the truths you’ve been storing in your head. We need both input and output in order to get closer Jesus.
