There were twelve spies who went into Canaan to look over the situation. Ten of them were negative and afraid. They persuaded the Children of Israel to not risk taking the land. God had promised to be with them and fight for them. Victory would be theirs if they obeyed, but they rebelled instead. Joshua and Caleb believed God, and were alive to cross over into the Promised Land. Are we going to miss out on blessings because of our fears, or are we willing to trust God with our future and obey and step out in faith?
