“But the people who live there are
powerful, and the cities are fortified and very large. We even saw descendants
of Anak there. The Amalekites live in the Negev; the Hittites, Jebusites and
Amorites live in the hill country; and the Canaanites live near the sea along
the Jordan.’ Then Caleb silenced the people before Moses and said, ‘We should
go up and take possession of the land, for we can certainly do it.’”
As we go through this life, we will
encounter much opposition and many mountains that may seem to be immovable.
When most of the Israelite spies that were sent into the Promised Land saw the
land the Lord said He would give them, they were fearful because of the mighty
people who lived there. In their fear they wished to abandon the land God had
given them. Caleb, however, knew they could take the land because he knew the
Lord was with them. He had faith that the mountain in front of him could be
moved by God. Matthew 17:20 says, “I tell you the truth, if you have faith as
small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there’
and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.” When we have faith in
God, faith that He can do the amazing things He has promised us, we can be
ready to see miracles.
