Numbers 13 - 07.25.24

SCRIPTURE - Numbers 13:30 NIV

“Then Caleb quieted the people before Moses, and said, “Let us GO up at once and take possession of it; for we will certainly conquer it.”

OBSERVATION

God delivered HIS People out of Bondage from Egypt SO they could ENTER The Promised Land. A Land of Milk and Honey. A Land that God had Promised to the descendants of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob—And a Land that God had reaffirmed the Promise of to Moses. God’s Promise was Assured!

God’s Promise was Israel’s Title Deed to The Land!

APPLICATION

Walk BY Faith—and NOT—BY Sight

Twelve Spies had been sent into the Promised Land to scout it out and make a report. They saw that it was INDEED a Land of Milk and Honey-so described because of the beautiful Lush Pasture for Livestock to Feed Upon and vast Farmlands with plentiful fruits, vegetables, and plants for bees to draw nectar from. The Spies brought back a Huge Cluster of Grapes the likes of which they had never seen hoisted on a pole that was carried by two men.

Nevertheless…This was the problem…

There should NEVER have been a “Nevertheless”.

Because ten of these men were “Walking By Sight” They looked at the people of the land and SAW Giants; They looked at the cities and SAW High Walls and LOCKED Gates; They looked at themselves and SAW Grasshoppers.

If Only they had Looked BY Faith TO God—They would have SEEN The ONE who IS Able to Conquer Every Enemy and who SEES The Enemy like Grasshoppers!

“Now to Him who is able to do immeasurably MORE than we ASK or IMAGINE, According to HIS Power

That is at work within us, to HIM be glory in the Church and in Christ Jesus Throughout ALL Generations,

Forever and ever! Amen.” (Ephesians 3:20 NIV)

“I AM God, and there is no other; I AM God, and there is none like me.” (Isaiah 46:9b NIV)

PRAYER

LORD Jesus,

Thank You that You are HOLY and Sovereign and Perfect in ALL Your Ways. Thank You for Your Loving Kindness and Goodness. Teach me to Sabbath at Your Feet in the midst of the Storms. Thank You for Your Word that comes and Tabernacles WITH me. Deep calls unto Deep. May I learn to Walk by Faith. Lead me in the way that I should go. I will follow you all the days of my life. Here I am Lord, Send Me.
