Can you hear Caleb pleading?Numbers 14:5-9 Then Moses and Aaron fell facedown in front of the whole Israelite assembly gathered there. Joshua son of Nun and Caleb son of Jephunneh, who were among those who had explored the land, tore their clothes and said to the entire Israelite assembly, "The land we passed through and explored is exceedingly good. If the LORD is pleased with us, he will lead us into that land, a land flowing with milk and honey, and will give it to us. Only do not rebel against the LORD. And do not be afraid of the people of the land, because we will swallow them up. Their protection is gone, but the LORD is with us. Do not be afraid of them."
I am at a crossroad in my own life right now. My biggest obstacle is fear. It is always fear. I am afraid of the changes that will come. I am afraid because I can't see through the tunnel. I am afraid because I just don't know all of the details. I can almost picture Caleb begging me not to be afraid because God has promised me an abundant life.
John 10:9-11 "I am the door; if anyone enters through Me, he will be saved, and will go in and out and find pasture. "The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I came that they may have life, and have it abundantly. I am the good shepherd; the good shepherd lays down His life for the sheep.
All I need to do is trust and not be afraid.
Romans 8:15-16 For you did not receive a spirit that makes you a slave again to fear, but you received the Spirit of sonship. And by him we cry, "Abba, Father." The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God's children.
Can you hear Caleb crying out to God's people? He is crying out to you. The Lord is with You, do not be afraid.
Please continue to pray for Jennifer S this week.
