In the thirteenth chapter, twelve spies are sent out to have a look see in the land of Canaan. Ten return with stories about giants and a whole lot of negative stuff.

Joshua and Caleb return and tell much the same. The difference with their report is that they encourage the assembly. They say no obstacle is too big for our God. Lets go take the promised land!

The assembly of people that have gathered to hear the reports go with the ten. They have already forgotten how God delivered them out of Egypt. They have forgotten how He fed them in the desert with mana and quail. They have even forgotten how He parted the Red Sea.

God is very angry with the children of Israel. He causes them to walk for forty years. That is until all that generation has died out. At the end of all of this only Moses, Joshua and Caleb are spared. Sadly only two of these survivors actually enter the promised land.

No matter what your situation is that you are facing today. God is bigger than your problem. He is bigger than giants. He can make a meal out of nothing and He can part the water of any sea.
