Numbers 14:8-9 If the Lord is pleased with us, he will lead us into that land, a land flowing with milk and honey, and will give it to us. 9 Only do not rebel against the Lord. And do not be afraid of the people of the land, because we will swallow them up. Their protection is gone, but the Lord is with us. Do not be afraid of them.
Joshua and Caleb spoke these words to the Israelites who had gone and explored Canaan and came back saying there was a vast amount of people living there who would overtake them. What separated Joshua and Caleb from the rest of the group of explorers? Faith. The others had lost sight of all God had done for them, and didn’t trust that God would continue to take care of them. Joshua and Caleb stood up to them in faith, or full confidence as my notes say, that God would protect them.
He promises us a new earth. Do you trust Him enough to stand up for Him, or will you forsake Him. I pray that He is pleased with us, and He brings us into Heaven and the new earth, to live eternally in His presence.
Stop over at Amy’s to read more Sunday Scripture.
We are definitely in sync…just read about Joshua and Caleb last night. Great point about us trusting God for our promise land.
Thanks for participating!
