Numbers 13:30 “We should
go up and take possession of the land, for we can certainly do it.”
Numbers 13:33 “We seemed
like grasshoppers in our own eyes, and we looked the same to them.”
When God offers you a
blessing that requires a step of faith to receive there are two ways you can
respond: in faith or in fear.
The people of Israel were at the
doorway to the Promised Land. The exploration team came back with two reports.
The minority saw a land of milk and honey, just as God had promised (verse 30).
The majority saw a land filled with giants, compared to whom the Israelites were
grasshoppers. (v. 33)
The majority’s bad report grew
out of fear. The minority report was built on faith in God’s promise: God will deliver
us.
Because the majority saw
grasshoppers instead of the Promised Land the Israelites wandered for 40 years
in the wilderness. Choices have
consequences.
When God offers you a blessing
don’t consider yourself inadequate or unworthy. Grasp it with a courageous
faith in God who is greater than your challenges.
Go up in faith and possess
God’s promise to you. You certainly can do it!
