Flight to Egypt
Flight to Egypt - Adam Elsheimer - 1609
We read in the Bible about how Joseph fled Bethlehem with his young family to Egypt to escape Herod’s search to kill the Messiah (Matthew 2:13-14). The trip took about 3 days and was filled with danger from bandits, wild animals and the heat of the desert. Imagine leaving everything you know and venturing out into the wilderness with a new-born baby. Sleeping in the desert, eating only what you carry with you, fully trusting in the message delivered to you by an angel. We rely so much on technology these days and may feel disconnected when we can’t find our phones even for a few minutes. Do you trust God enough to put away your technology for a day? Two days? Take the challenge and strengthen your relationship with God.
