Num 14:3 “Why has the LORD brought us to this land to fall by the sword, that our wives and children should become victims? Would it not be better for us to return to Egypt?
“Num 14:4 So they said to one another, “Let us select a leader and return to Egypt.”
The whole congregation of Israel wept at the account brought by the spies who had been sent by Moses to spy the land. They had acknowledged that the land indeed flowed with milk and honey. They even had the evidence – the fruit.
However, they also reported that the people there were powerful, their cities were large and fortified and that the land devoured it’s inhabitants. The ten spies made the hearts of people melt with fear. Selecting a captain to take them back to Egypt was a formal renunciation of God.
Our dreams and aspirations in this life are still valid. The promise still stands and for sure the “land flows with milk and honey.” There may be “giants” in the land but we have what it takes to overcome them and attain our God given heights. Let us resist the urge to quit.
