Faith in the Unknown: From Avraham to Modern Israel | Prophets of Israel Daily

Abraham left his homeland before he knew where he was going. Bnei Israel, the children of Israel, walked into the sea before it split. The Kohanim stepped in the into the Jordan before it parted. Redemption responds to movement and to trust to a people willing to lean in to the unknown because they trust the one guiding them through it. And you know, on again on a personal level, there are moments where living out here in Judea, I just feel that same tension. When you build a home on a mountain that your ancestors walked on and you plant trees in the soil that the prophets promised would bloom again, not knowing if they're even going to grow, it's so rocky and filled with stones and it's so arid, when you walk with your children through a land surrounded by jihadi terrorists, there are moments when it feels miraculous and there are moments when it feels terrifying.
