Both photographs are the Arugot River flowing thru the Judean Desert, & also called the Nigev Desert.
4,700 sq miles, or at least 55% of Israel's land area, Southern Israel, is the Negev Desert. Water is still very precious in this large desert. The Southern District is one of Israel's six administrative districts, it is the largest, as well as the most sparsely populated. It covers most of the Negev desert. The population of the Southern District is 1,002,400. It is 86% Jewish. The district capital is Beersheba, which blooms in the desert like a desert city - comparably to Las Vegas. Psalm 126
1 When the Lord restored the fortunes of Zion,
we were like those who dream.
2 Then our mouth was filled with laughter,
and our tongue with shouts of joy;
then they said among the nations,
“The Lord has done great things for them.”
3 The Lord has done great things for us;
we are glad.
4 Restore our fortunes, O Lord,
like streams in the Negeb!
5 Those who sow in tears
shall reap with shouts of joy!
6 He who goes out weeping,
bearing the seed for sowing,
shall come home with shouts of joy,
bringing his sheaves with him.
One of the prayers I offer to Father God, and fills me with joy, is asking that I might be comforting to others like the way Jesus describes Heaven. To help me, in His Grace, to be an oasis of love in a busy and sometimes harsh world.
Matthew 13:31,32
He told them another parable: "The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed, which a man took and planted in his field. Though it is the smallest of all your seeds, yet when it grows, it is the largest of garden plants and becomes a tree, so that the birds of the air come and perch in its branches."
I like to pray for large prayers, I think that Father God likes expectant prayers. May you be filled with faith, hope and love during Thanksgiving and the Christmas Season! We will pray for God's blessing to come in and refresh us; like streams of living water in the desert, replenishing our souls, letting our light shine for the glory of God. In the highest name given to us, we ask in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen!
