Text: Numbers 13:1 - 14:10
What makes people turn away from being faithful? Peter walked with the Lord during His earthly ministry, but in a matter of hours he denied Jesus.
Twelve men were chosen by Moses, one from each tribe, to spy out the land of Canaan. Yet 10 of them brought back an evil report. These weren't just any men. They were highly respected and were selected from among millions of people.
What happened? They embarked on the mission for three main purposes:
1. To check out the land.
2. To check out the inhabitants
3. To bring back sample of the fruit of the land.
They were in Canaan for 40 days, and did each of these things. However, when they returned, they presented the facts in such a way that the people became afraid. Somewhere during that period of time, they allowed their discoveries to change what they believed from God's Word. They became fearful. When Caleb saw the effect their report was having, he stepped up and told the people they were well able to take the land. Joshua agreed with him, but the damage was done.
They thought God was leading them to a land where they were greater than the inhabitants. However, God sent them to a land where He was greater than the inhabitants.
