The Spies’ Eyes

Numbers 14:1~10 │ “Only do not rebel against the Lord. And do not fear the people of the land, for they are bread for us. Their protection is removed from them, and the Lord is with us; do not fear them.” (9)

Hymn #204 Those Who Hear and Do the Word (Unified Hymn #379)

There are times when you cannot escape your anxieties regarding the future. Furthermore, the present reality seems to make a greater impact on you than spiritual truths. When you look at yourself and the environment, your eyes become solely focused on the conditions that don’t work. What can you do in these situations?

1. What God Reveals in Advance through His Word
Through Moses, God made promises to the Israelites and constantly reminded them. Those who believed in that Word weren’t deceived by reality. They didn’t grasp at something vague because they had lost their senses. Instead, those who saw and possessed God’s Word in advance enjoyed what God had prepared ahead of time. They even enjoyed Canaan conquest and tasted Word fulfillment before they entered Canaan.

2. The Living and Active Word That Moves Life
The people who prepared to enter into Canaan as they held onto the Word were different from the people who argued that Canaan was too strong to be infiltrated. They took the Word they received from God into the field and realistically enjoyed it in their lives. They realized their God-given mission in the Word and discovered what they needed to do in their today.

Today, examine yourself to see whether you’re standing in the place of Joshua and Caleb or the other spies. Even if you have little or no background, it won’t matter if God is with you. Those who believe in that spiritual fact will help and save people wherever they go.

[Covenantal Prayer] Dear God, may I hold onto Your good plan. May I hold onto Your absolute plan that saves me. I pray in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

[Deep Questions]
Q. Why Do You Have So Many Worries Even Though You’re a Child of God?

A six-year old child worries about what to eat for lunch even before eating breakfast because his parents aren’t by his side. Then, what about you?

Do you believe that you’re a child of God? If so, you have nothing to worry about. This doesn’t mean that you won’t face any problems. On the contrary, God fulfills His important plans through your problems, hardships, and experiences of failure. He wants you to focus solely on Him through all the different tasks and events that’ll take place today.
