Num 14:36-38 So the men Moses had sent to explore the land, who returned and made the whole community grumble against him by spreading a bad report about it– these men responsible for spreading the bad report about the land were struck down and died of a plague before the LORD. Of the men who went to explore the land, only Joshua son of Nun and Caleb son of Jephunneh survived.(NIV)
Moses sent twelve men to spy out the land of Canaan. Despite the fact that they brought its fruit, ten of them spread a bad report that the land was full of giants, that it devoured its inhabitants and they saw themselves as grasshoppers in their sight. This report spread fear in the whole camp.
Joshua and Caleb calmed the assembly and told them how good that land was and if the Lord was pleased with them, He would give them the land, only they should be careful not to rebel . However, the vast majority wanted to stone them. The two walked by faith and confidence of the Lord’s promise. That is why they were the only ones who entered Canaan because they lived by faith.
All the promises of God are Yes and Amen in Christ. Let us not listen to the majority of naysayers who are out to diminish our Faith. What He said, He will do. Ours is to confidently walk by Faith and not by sight for the word declares, ” the just shall live by faith “. (Hab 2:4)
