And they told him, “We came to the land to which you sent us. It flows with milk and honey, and this is its fruit. However, the people who dwell in the land are strong, and the cities are fortified and very large. And besides, we saw the descendants of Anak there. The Amalekites dwell in the land of the Negeb. The Hittites, the Jebusites, and the Amorites dwell in the hill country. And the Canaanites dwell by the sea, and along the Jordan.” But Caleb quieted the people before Moses and said, “Let us go up at once and occupy it, for we are well able to overcome it.” Then the men who had gone up with him said, “We are not able to go up against the people, for they are stronger than we are.” So they brought to the people of Israel a bad report of the land that they had spied out, saying, “The land, through which we have gone to spy it out, is a land that devours its inhabitants, and all the people that we saw in it are of great height. And there we saw the Nephilim (the sons of Anak, who come from the Nephilim), and we seemed to ourselves like grasshoppers, and so we seemed to them.”

We live in a time of uncertainty, don’t we? What is God’s will for your life in the midst of all this chaos? Does He still have a plan? The answer is yes! He’s on the job, living big in you, accomplishing His will in the earth. Let this plan show you how He is working in your life and what His will is for you in these last days.
If speaking up in the face of uncertainty terrifies you, this plan’s for you! Let Caleb’s example and good report encourage you to proclaim God’s Word in intimidating situations. Confident of God’s power, Caleb, in Numbers 13:30, MSG exclaimed, “Let’s go up and take the land – now. We can do it.” Part of walking by faith is speaking faith-filled words. Use Your Words and take your place!
Caleb was one of only two men from his entire generation to survive a 40-year desert wandering and eventually enter the Promised Land. This made him a living legend with a mountainous mission and legacy to fulfil. Will you be the same kind of man and accept your mission? Will you also leave behind a legacy that stands as firm as the mountains?
Does your mindset need a check-up? Are you a cup half-empty person? Do you tend towards fear instead of faith? When faced with a challenge, are you filled with dread? The Israelites give us a clear mindset challenge when scouts go to survey the land God is giving them. Ten come back with a fearful report, but two return full of faith and hope. How can we beat the odds and adopt a Biblical mindset? Let’s start today.
