Strategy: The Strategic Faith of Caleb in Overcoming the Giants – a 5-Day Devotional by Allma Johnsonનમૂનો

Strategic Communication in the Face of Fear
"Only do not rebel against the LORD, nor fear the people of the land, for they are our bread; their protection has departed from them, and the LORD is with us. Do not fear them." — Numbers 14:9 (NKJV)

The people refused to listen. Fear spread like wildfire, and doubt took root in their hearts. They cried out, questioning God’s plan and longing to return to Egypt. Yet Caleb remained steadfast. “Only do not rebel against the Lord, nor fear the people of the land, for they are our bread; their protection has departed from them, and the Lord is with us. Do not fear them.” (Numbers 14:9, NKJV).

Caleb didn’t just believe in God’s promise—he stood firmly on it. His words weren’t mere optimism; they reflected unwavering faith. While others magnified the problem, Caleb magnified the power of God. He understood that faith is not silent; faith speaks life even when fear surrounds us. Strategic faith requires not only belief but the courage to trust God's truth in the face of opposition. Caleb’s example reminds us that our words shape our perspective. When fear rises, we can either fuel doubt or build faith. Let’s choose to speak life, truth, and victory over our circumstances, knowing that God’s promises will always prevail.

Trust:
As you journey forward, speak life, truth, and the promises of God, because your words can either fuel fear or ignite faith.

Reflection:
How can you use your words to encourage faith and trust in God’s promises today? What words do you need to stop speaking to speak life instead?

Prayer:
Lord, help me to speak words of faith and life. Let my words reflect Your truth and build others up, even when fear tries to take hold. In Jesus' name, Amen.
