God wanted to test Israel to expose what was in their hearts, so He asked Moses to send out spies from each tribe of Israel into the land He was *giving* them.
In other words, the land was as good as theirs (from God's perspective), but were they (Israel) ready for it? *For the mission to be successful (for Israel to take hold of what is already theirs), God needed Israel to see the situation through His eyes*.
The spies came back with the two different reports (good and bad) at the ratio of 2:10.
Joshua and Caleb reported, "We are well able..." and the 10 spies reported, "We are not able..."
One situation, two different perspectives. What happened? The difference lies in how they *chose to see* the situation and what they *chose to focus* on in that situation.
The 10 spies weighed the situation against themselves and saw defeat, but Joshua and Caleb weighed the situation against their God and saw victory.
The 10 spies focused on the giants (their challenges), but Joshua and Caleb focused on God (their solution).
Faith makes you see things differently. Faith is not denying the reality of your challenges, but it is you *choosing* to weigh your challenges against the awesome power of God and realizing that it is nothing before Him.
God is bringing you into a good place; into prosperity, but that doesn't mean you won't face challenges. They will come and want to make you doubt🙂.
It is time you declare, "I will go up at once and take possession, for I am well able to overcome it."
Take your confidence off of yourself and put it on God. It's Him against your giants and not you against them.
So, how do you 'see' your challenges? Do you have the Joshua-Caleb perspective (through God's eyes), or do you have the 10 spies perspective?
Be still. Trust God💪🏼.
