Numbers 13:27-28 "This was their report to Moses: "We entered the land you sent us to explore, and it is indeed a bountiful country - a land flowing with milk and honey. Here is the kind of fruit it produces. But the people living there are powerful, and their towns are fortified. We even saw giants there, the descendants of Anak."
The twelve scouts reported back to Moses what they saw when they explored the Promised Land. Ten of the twelve lost focus, they forgot God's promise and focused on fear. They saw fortified cities, giants, and the large populations... they made their enemies seem larger than life. Later in the chapter they said they felt like grasshoppers compared to the men they saw. They forgot about God. Because they chose to focus on what they felt was the impossible and did not believe in Godthey wandered for 40 years; a simple lack of faith and disobedience cost them dearly.
Life brings us many challenges, but we can not allow ourselves to lose focus. Our God is bigger than any of our problems and nothing is impossible for him. God is not limited by our reason, our perceptions, or our expectations - Thank God!
