We never fully realize the consequences of the sin we commit.

It’s insidious how far reaching those can be.

The best examples are David here, and Abraham trying to fulfill God’s promise to him through Hagar.

The world is still paying the price for those bad decisions.

Good point. Once I became geopolitically aware, sixty years ago, I’ve often noticed Jordan’s attitude toward Israel being seemingly somewhat less militant that other area countries.
