Numbers 13:30 (NKJV) 30 Then Caleb quieted the people before Moses, and said, “Let us go up at once and take possession, for we are well able to overcome it.”
As the Israelites approached the land of promise, Moses sent 12 men to spy out the land. They were to report back to him about the lay of the land and the agriculture.
As the men entered the land and beheld it, they saw great crops and a land of beauty, teeming with everything God had promised them.
However, they also saw men of great stature… giants. And suddenly 10 of the 12 men lost their faith.
Despite seeing all of the good things, and they fact that they brought back huge clusters of grapes that required two men to carry them, those 10 men brought back a negative report and told Moses and the people of Israel that entering the land and conquering the Canaanites was impossible.
Only Joshua and Caleb believed God. And in the end, Joshua and Caleb were the only men of that generation to be able to enter into the promised land.
So, today, as we face our giants, and we stand on the border, looking out at the things that God has promised us, who’s report will we believe? Will we see the large fruits and the goodness that God spoke about?
Or will we focus only on the giants that inhabit the land, letting them intimidate us and deter us from claiming what God promised us?
It’s up to us. Only we can decide.
If God has truly promised us something, and we’re sure that it’s not just something that we want, then we need to stop doubting and start believing what God has told us, end enter into that promise.
If God be for us, who can be against us?
