By Faith

You can tell I am days behind....
Anyway i just wanted to share a commentary in Numbers 13 and encourage us to walk by faith in God's word since He alone called us to serve Him and do exploits in His name; even when what we see and hear and feel doesnt make sense. God put that dream in each of us, I pray that this year, many Jordans will be crossed and the visions will come to pass

A memorable and melancholy history is related in this and the following chapter, of the turning back of Israel from the borders of Canaan, and the sentencing them to wander and perish in the wilderness, for their unbelief and murmuring. It appears, De 1:22, that the motion to search out the land came from the people. They had a better opinion of their own policy than of God's wisdom. Thus we ruin ourselves by believing the reports and
representations of sense rather than Divine revelation. We walk by sight not by faith. Moses gave the spies this charge, Be of good courage. It was not only a great undertaking they were put upon, which required good management and resolution; but a great trust was reposed in them, which required that they should be faithful. Courage in such circumstances can only spring from strong faith, which Caleb and Joshua alone possessed. (Nu 13:21-25)
