Some things in Israel never change, but also continue to amaze and instruct. One such place is Lake Kinneret. You may know it as the Sea of Galilee or Lake Tiberias.
The lake is the lowest fresh water lake in the world. It is 13 miles long and 8 and ½ miles wide at the widest point. It is small when compared to many lakes around the world. Despite its small size, the lake is at no loss for visitors.
Lake Kinneret (Sea of Galilee) was the hub around which Yeshua (Jesus of Nazareth) taught and ministered during his ministry. Mostly he traveled around the north and west side. Many of the stories found in the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John took place on or near the lake.
While I was originally drawn to the lake for the usual reasons pilgrims are, I am drawn back now but the beauty and mystery of the lake. I love to photograph it because the views are rarely the same. The lake changes with the rising and setting of the sun. It changes with the fog and mist that lay across its surface as well.
I offer you, the lake . . .

O God, You are my God; Early will I seek You; My soul thirsts for You; My flesh longs for You In a dry and thirsty land Where there is no water. Psalm 63:1
I rise to greet You when the dew still soaks the Spring flowers. The lush forest of your presence awaits me. An alcove of lush green trees in the secret forest is my morning time with You.
Cool breezes, earthy fragrance, warm sunshine greet me as I walk toward You, arms open wide, anticipating Your embrace, Your Word spoken over me–my hope, my comfort, my strength, my teacher, my love.
Abba! Abba! Good morning! Blessings to You, my Father God–Creator–Redeemer–Almighty One–Precious Protector–High Tower–Imanuel–El Shaddai–Adonai Tz’avot–I am yours! You are mine.
