Feb 8 Numbers 12-14 Are You Like Joshua/Caleb or the Other 10?

Who reminds you of you? Do you obey the LORD wholeheartedly in the face of adversity or danger? Do you realize that whatever God calls or commands you to do that He is the power that will allow you to succeed? If you don't tithe to your local church, is it fear that keeps you holding onto "your" money? If you don't evangelize much or at all, is it because of fear? Do you really believe that Christ promised to be with you until the end of the age - or do you think that it is you that will convince people and you can't even convince yourself?

How much do you really trust in the power of God - versus how much do you depend on yourself - and how much do you fear other people? Who do you fear more - God or other people?

Are you afraid to tell your boyfriend, "No more sex!"? Are you afraid to break up with the girl that you know isn't right for you because you'll never find another woman who loves you? Is the LORD's arm too short?

Dwell on the Israelites' response at Kadesh Barnea and ask God for His power to overcome the giants in your life. Recognize that YOU CAN"T OVERCOME THEM!!!!!! But GOD CAN! See God and not the giants. Remember what gave Joshua and Caleb their courage - "The LORD is with us."
