“Choose to Believe …”
Numbers 14:24
New International Version
24 But because my servant Caleb has a different spirit and follows me wholeheartedly, I will bring him into the land he went to, and his descendants will inherit it.
One Time in Scripture, Moses sent twelve men to spy out the promise Land. The people of Israel were camped right next door and excited about possessing the land. But after forty days, ten of the men came back with a negative report. They said, “Moses, there are giants in the land, and we’ll never defeat them. That negative report spread throughout the rest of the camp, and the people began to murmur and complain. But one of the spies named Caleb said, “Moses, we are well able to defeat these people. Let us go up at once and take the land! “
It’s interesting that they all saw the same land and the same circumstances, yet they had totally different views. How could their reports be so opposite? Here’s how: Caleb had a different spirit. He saw things with a different perspective. Others were focused on the giants, but Caleb was focused on his God. The people who complained never actually made it into the Promised Land, but Caleb did. He accompanied a new generation that Chose the blessing of God.
Today you can choose to have a different spirit. Don’t listen to what everyone else says; listen to what God says. Choose to believe His word, choose to obey Him, and will lead you into your promised land!
