And Moses sent them to spy out the land of Canaan, and said unto them, Get you up this way southward, and go up into the mountain: And see the land, what it is; and the people that dwelleth therein, whether they be strong or weak, few or many; and what the land is that they dwell in, whether it be good or bad; and what cities they be that they dwell in, whether in tents, or in strong holds; and what the land is, whether it be fat or lean, whether there be wood therein, or not. And be ye of good courage, and bring of the fruit of the land. Now the time was the time of the firstripe grapes. | ||
| Numbers 13:17–20 | ||
| Watch out, Moses. Don’t send in the spies. Just step out in faith and follow the command of the Lord who promised to give you the land of destiny. I believe Moses made a mistake the moment he sent in the spies. “Wait,” you say. “Wasn’t it the Lord who told Moses to send men in to search out the land?” In the book of Deuteronomy, we see what really happened that day . . . And ye came near unto me every one of you, and said, We will send men before us, and they shall search us out the land, and bring us word again by what way we must go up, and into what cities we shall come. And the saying pleased me well: and I took twelve men of you, one of a tribe: and they turned and went up into the mountain, and came unto the valley of Eshcol, and searched it out. - Deuteronomy 1:22–24 Pastor Jon Courson | ||
