From Beginning to EndSample
God gives the people a glimpse of what he is about to give them in the classic good news and bad news scenario. The good news is the land is rich with abundant produce. The bad news is the people who will need to be defeated are strong. Caleb trusted God, so he was able to see God’s provision. The other spies didn’t trust God, so they could only see defeat.
Almost any challenge in life could be looked at through these lenses. Are we headed for defeat, or is God giving us an opportunity for him to do something great? We’re probably more likely to run away from a challenge if it appears huge, but God is always bigger than the challenge.

About this Plan
This is part one of a four-part plan to read the books of the Bible that tell of the historical events. Although the Bible contains many stories, it is one story from beginning to end of God’s interactions with humanity. One day per week can be used to catch up on missed readings or for reflection. Notes are also included to assist with understanding.
