Numbers 12 and 13, Luke 3: 23-38, Luke 4: 1-13, Psalm 42: 1-6
Numbers 14: 30-31 (ESV)
But 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.” Then the men
who had gone up with him said, “We are not able to go up against the people,
for they are stronger than we are.”
Verses 30-31 from Numbers 14 shows the difference between
people who have faith in God and people who don’t. Caleb saw the same things
that the other men saw, but his faith in God was so strong that he thought to
himself that God will provide a way for them to overcome it. I wonder how many
of us look at a dream in the same way that the ten men did. Do we see all the
danger and risk involved? Do we fear that our dream is too big and we aren’t
strong enough to overcome the forces standing in the way of our dream? We need
to have the same strength of faith as Caleb. God told Moses that the land was
theirs, and yes it would be difficult but if we just have enough faith in God’s
promises to us we will know that God will help us overcome any obstacles to our
dreams. We need to pray every day to have the faith of Caleb and Joshua and
believe as they did, that no matter what dangers and obstacles we see, God will
fulfill his promises to us.
