Do You Stay, or

Do You Go?

[NIV] Numbers 13:31 “We can’t attack those people, they are stronger that we are”

   Moses sent 12 spies into Canaan, in preparation for their up & coming invasion. But on threshold of their greatest exploits, ten spies took a long hard look at the challenges and decided they weren’t worth it. They preferred their nomadic life to the battles before them. Only 2 spies made it into the promised land.

We all face moments when the likelihood of success seems so small ..

• The Obstacles seem insurmountable ..

• The costs seem immeasurable ..

• Those who turn back never fulfil their dreams

• Those who press on may fail, but at least they fail daring greatly!

   Now with God, we’re on the threshold of a greater accomplishment, of leaving behind the desert of this World and pursuing a glorious life in God, some are always going to turn back, and refusing to grasp the new and glorious life. Simply it scare them; it looks to cost too much; victory seems beyond impossible.

   Ah, but those who refuse to retreat and instead press-on live a full and advantaged life of Faith, and follow God into the promised land full of milk and honey.

“Will You Live by Fear or Faith?”
