We arrived in Siem Reap early this evening to be met by a kind tour guide, Phalla, who led us to a resort hotel that surely resembles the garden of Eden. As we stepped off of the bus, a sweet fragrance filled the air and a group of traditional dancers and musicians welcomed us to this unusual country.
Cambodia is 95% Buddist. Statues of 'gods' are everywhere, which I thought was Hindu...I'll have to learn more. The stark contrast of Vietnam's godlessness to Cambodia's pervasive Buddism is powerful. I can feel it just stepping off the plane. The world of spiritual warfare is truly more real than the physical surroundings of our temporary home. There is an emptiness, almost a void, in Vietnam whereas in Cambodia it is a thick blanket of ...yuck. It's hard to pinpoint, but that's the feeling. Join me the next four days as I pray and worship in this place. May the light of the Lord Jesus shine in this darkness that His name might be glorified in all the earth!
