Monthly Devotional

By Jon Courson
From A Pillar By Day

"Then Caleb quieted the people before Moses and said, 'Let us go up at once and take possession, for we are well able to overcome it.' But the men who had gone up with him said, 'We are not able to go up against the people, for they are stronger than we.' And they gave the children of Israel a bad report of the land which they had spied out, saying, 'The land through which we have gone as spies is a land that devours its inhabitants, and all the people whom we saw in it are men of great stature. There we saw the giants (the descendants of Anak came from the giants), and we were like grasshoppers in our own sight, and so we were in their sight.' (Numbers 13:30-33)

Ten spies had an evil report. Two believed God. People can't name one of the ten spies, but all of us know the names of Joshua and Caleb. Here's a key to being forgotten in history, by your family, or in the work of the kingdom: Murmur, be cynical, be a doubter, be skeptical, be a critic. Sit back and say, 'This isn't right and that will never happen.' On the other hand, the men, women, and congregations who leave an imprint on history are those who say, "We believe God will do great things."

Ten of the spies saw the foes. Joshua and Caleb saw the fruit. Ten of the spies saw the giants. Joshua and Caleb saw God. Ten of the spies saw the walls and their faith crumbled. Joshua and Caleb had faith and knew the walls would crumble.

It's all a matter of perspective. We will have faith in that which we fear. The ten spies had faith in the giants because they feared them. But Joshua and Caleb feared God, and therefore had faith in Him.

I saw a nature movie years ago in which, seeing a mountain lion headed his way, a little bear cub stood on its back legs, raised its little paws, and let forth a high-pitched growl. The mountain lion immediately stopped in his tracks, turned around, and ran away, leaving the little bear cub thinking, This is great! Look what I did! And then the camera panned back to show that standing behind the little bear was his mama - a huge grizzly!

We have a great big God standing with us who makes any giant seem like a grasshopper in comparison. The spies lifted up their eyes to the giants. Joshua and Caleb lifted them higher and saw the Father.
