📖 Caleb quieted the people before Moses, and said, Let us go up at once and possess it; we are well able to conquer it. ⎯Numbers 13:30 AMPC
And they said to all the company of Israelites, The land through which we passed as scouts is an exceedingly good land. If the Lord delights in us, then He will bring us into this land and give it to us, a land flowing with milk and honey. ⎯Numbers 14:7-8 AMPC
Joshua and Caleb were of a different spirit. They spied out the land with the other ten, yet they did not say the same thing. They saw the same thing the other men saw, and yet they said something else. They believed that the Israelites could take the land. They believed that God was for them. They believed contrary to what the others saw. If we are going to experience the promises of God, we have to be like Joshua and Caleb. We must say what they said. We must believe the way they believed. They had confidence in God's ability. They knew God could bring them into their promised land, and we must do the same. When we do, we will eventually see the fulfillment of His promises.
