I can never remember thinking about the "land flowing with milk and honey" without being upset by the fate of the occupiers who had to be evicted to make way for the Chosen People. The modern reoccupation of the land  by their "descendants" doesn't make sense to me either. Any History records what happened and if it did really happen it must be accounted as evidence of God's providence. The atheistic State of Israel seems to be a refutation of God's will and lives a life no different from the rest of the world. 

The Will of God throughout historical time is not to be found in the kingdoms of the world or in the stored wealth to be used by future generations. God's will is in the "sparrow" who is not noticed by the world  but looks for the Kingdom of God. The poor man who does not seek "success" but who is a "Human Soul" seeking not scraps but the full nourishment that comes from doing the will of the Father and accepting the true "Bread of Heaven".

God's "History" is his loving  knowledge of the least of us and of our deeds, all of which are ever present in the timeless reality that is God.

Dear Lord, again I start the day with considering your  words of  scripture; let my thoughts prove to be sincere and let me always recognise the danger of hypocrisy.
