Numbers 13:30 Then Caleb quieted the people before Moses, and said, "let us go up at once and take possession, for we are well able to overcome it."
God had told the Israelites that He was taking them into a land flowing with milk and honey and when they went to spy it out they discovered it was an amazing place better than anything they'd imagined. We all know the story, how 2 of the spies said 'We're well able to do it" and then there were 10 who said "We are not able..."
Now, there is a temptation to go with the majority who speak very convincingly, but sometimes they are wrong and boy were these 10 wrong! They had forgotten God's promise to them that He was taking them in and they mistakenly thought they were going to have to do it alone so they refused to do it! So sad!
Caleb was my kind of person - someone who encourages people and tells them what they can do with God's help. He knew His God and that when we follow God wholeheartedly God will do what He says He will do, and strengthen us to do what He wants us to do.
Why am I reminding us of all that? It's just in case you've been listening to a negative majority who've told you you can't do something when you know very well you can because God told you to.
Caleb said "let us go up at once..." So my purpose today is to encourage you to GO FOR IT, whatever it is, and DON'T PUT IT OFF!
Don't postpone your life and wait till Co-vid is over, or you're children have left home, or you feel 100%, or you have enough money, or whatever your excuse has been. If God has been telling you to do something JUST DO IT, go on in and possess your possession.
I don't know who that word is for but I believe it is for someone who is reading this blog. God will give you the courage and the ability to take that first step knowing He will open up the way for you. Thank You Lord.
