The Sky Is Falling (Numbers 13)...

Here we see an epic flannel board scene. God tells Moses to send spies out to explore the land He was sending them too. I find it interesting that God would send them even though He had already PROMISED the land to them. I wonder what that is all about?

Either way the 12 men went, 10 came back with exaggerated reports based on their fears, two came back with reports of advancement solely on God's spoken promises. This will lead Israel into a very interesting and difficult season.

I wish I could rant and rave about the lack of faith of the 10 but to be honest, I am not sure which of the two sides I would have fallen. There are times I feel that my faith is as strong to move the mountains Jesus was talking about; then there are other moment when I feel as if hiding in the crowd is the only way to survive.

I pray that God would continue to strengthen me through the cross and His love. This is the only way we will grow to a level of a Caleb and a Joshua.

Heart and Soul,
