Numbers 13:30 Then Caleb silenced the people before Moses and said, "We should go up and take possession of the land, for we can certainly do it."
God has given Canaan to the Israelites. It is indeed a land of milk and honey. But the inhabitants at the time were many, and they were huge! Ten of the witnesses convinced the others of the impossible task before them. Two of them pointed out the victory before them since God was the one really in charge.
Ten wimps, and two men of faith and courage. The wimps never saw their reward. Only the men of faith and courage entered the promised land. Where are you in this eternal struggle? Do you stand up or stand down for the Lord? Christ can sure use more courage and fewer excuses.
Jesus calls us to be witnesses. (Matthew 28:19, 20) So what are you doing to share the good news about Jesus Christ with the world? Do you have the courage to stand up for Jesus, or do the cares of the world and the media intimidate you into a closet? It takes nerves of steel to be a street witness, but you can also raise funds for missionaries, write, teach and encourage others with your spiritual gifts. Join us here in encouraging us while we encourage you. Thanks for reading.
