We have spent time in the desert of Israel, where we’ve seen that Israel learned trust and dependence on God. Individuals would sometimes go back to the desert to hear God’s voice and prepare for some kind of ministry. Over the next couple of weeks we will spend time in the land of honey/farmer, which is where God rewards their trust and dependence with prosperity (rich, fertile farmland). But it is also the place where they interact with the world, where the Via Maris is, the world’s crossroads. The question arises: how will they deal with prosperity & the world? 

Scripture: Deuteronomy 28
