Today's Scripture *June 16, 2008*
Numbers 13: 30-32
But Caleb tried to quiet the people as they stood before Moses. “Let’s go at once to take the land,” he said. “We can certainly conquer it!”
But the other men who had explored the land with him disagreed. “We can't go up against them! They are stronger than we are!”
So they spread this bad report about the land among the Israelites: “The land we traveled through and explored will devour anyone who goes to live there. All the people we saw were huge.
Imagine standing before a crowd and loudly voicing an unpopular opinion!
Caleb was willing to take the unpopular stand to do as God had commanded.
To be effective when you go against the crowd, you must :
(1) Have the facts (Caleb had seen the land for himself);
(2) Have the right attitude (Caleb trusted God's promise to give Israel the land);
(3) State clearly what you believe (Caleb said, "We can certainly conquer it!".
Father, we want to be Caleb's! Help us to see that Your Word is the Ultimate truth! Help us to stand up for what is right--even in the face of people who disagree or find it unpopular to do so. May we truly stand out and stand up for You and what is just, right, and worthy! We love You Lord! Help us to be more and more like You and less and less like ourselves. May we follow Your ways! In Jesus' Name, Amen..
Always grateful for God's Word!
Blessings,
April
