Num 13:1-2 (ESV) The LORD spoke to Moses, saying, “Send men to spy out the land of Canaan, which I am giving to the people of Israel. Num 13:25 At the end of 40 days they returned from spying out the land. 27And they told him, “We came to the land to which you sent us. It flows with milk and honey, and this is its fruit. 28However, the people who dwell in the land are strong, and the cities are fortified and very large. 30But Caleb quieted the people before Moses and said, “Let us go up at once and occupy it, for we are well able to overcome it.” Num 14:6-7 Joshua the son of Nun & Caleb the son of Jephunneh, who were among those who had spied out the land, tore their clothes & said to all the congregation of the people of Israel, “The land, which we passed through to spy it out, is an exceedingly good land. Num 14:30 Not one shall come into the land where I swore that I would make you dwell, except Caleb the son of Jephunneh & Joshua the son of Nun.— Ten men spied out the land but only two had the faith to trust God that they could overcome the giants of the land! How many look to God for help & He gives you a promised land, then you realize that you have to fight the giants for the promise! Don’t forget John 16:33 “I have said these things to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you Will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world.” Tribulation is part of this world, so we can’t get lazy & we must push thru the giants that get in our way to our promise! We can trust our God & when we do we will overcome the trials of life! Love Mel
