Numbers 11-13

The twelve spies went to check things out in Canaan. When they returned they presented Moses with a frightening report. Yes, the land is fertile and the crops amazing, but the people are huge and powerful, the cities large and fortified.

Then Caleb jumps up and says… So what’s stopping us? Let’s roll!

Sometimes what God calls us to do seems as threatening and difficult as taking land from giants. But when faith like Caleb’s steps forward, God is able to accomplish great things.

I knew a father of four who quit his job as restaurant manager to pastor a small, struggling church. I’ve known single women who leave the comforts of home to go into remote areas of third world countries to share Jesus. I know some young parents who feel God asking them to live on one paycheck so the moms can stay at home with their children. And in all cases God has been faithful and people are being blessed beyond what they could imagine.

If God is calling you to do something a little scary I hope you answer with faith like Caleb’s. It could be a career change, going back to school, reaching out to someone, teaching a Sunday School class, or any number of challenges .

If God asks let’s answer… let’s roll!
