Wandering: A Study In NumbersMuestra
What does it say?
Moses sent twelve men into Canaan who returned with a report of the land. Most of the men were fearful, but Caleb encouraged the people to take possession of the land.
What does it mean?
Having reached the land God had promised, the people should have been praising God for His faithfulness in meeting all their needs for so many months. Instead, they allowed a small group of ten men to influence them with a disheartening report. Joshua and Caleb were the only two of the twelve who continued to trust God, knowing that He would enable them to overcome any obstacles in the land. How different the outcome would have been had all of them trusted God and realized He would continue to be faithful just as He had been in the past.
How should I respond?
Standing alone for God and His Word is never an easy task. What fearful or discouraging situation do you find yourself in today? Are you the only person standing firm in your faith at home, work, or school? God has not changed. He is able to overcome any and every situation; even the ones that make you feel small and weak. What fear is holding you back from believing God and taking Him at His word? Trusting Him to do a mighty work when you can’t see the result is true faith. He will always help you accomplish any work He wants you to do. What action do you need to take today?

Acerca de este Plan
In the book of Numbers, God demonstrates himself as a pillar of fire and a pillar of smoke, faithfully leading his often rebellious people through the wilderness. Although the faithless wilderness generation was barred from entering the promised land, God was raising up a generation to lead the people from their wandering into the conquest of the land of Canaan.
