Num. 12-14 [The Message]

Some people are optimistic and some pessimistic. Some see a glass half full and some see the glass half empty.

Moses sent 12 spies into the Promised Land to scout it out. Joshua and Caleb were full of faith and saw the potential of the land. 10 were negative and spread false rumors about the land discouraging many Hebrews. Sadly, the pessimists lost their lives in the wilderness and were withheld from the rewards ahead.

Joshua and Caleb were heroes and were blessed to enter the land and reap its benefits because of their faith. They didn’t merely have a positive attitude. They allowed God to open their eyes of faith to see and embrace the opportunity placed before them.
