Title: See with the Eyes of Faith
Contents :
God gave the Israelites a blue dream of Canaan. And he made Moses defeat the strong enemies of Pharaoh king of Egypt, and he opened the Red Sea and made them cross dry land before arriving in front of Canaan. The Israelites, who had left Egypt, longed for God to spy out Canaan.
Try the twelve spies chosen.
They are outstanding warriors drawn from each tribe. They are Israel's best soldiers, chosen from among the sixty-three thousand. Therefore, they bear the rise and fall of Israel on their shoulders. Christians should know that the rise and fall of a nation depends on the rise and fall of a nation, not my own life. Moses and the Israelites waited for 40 days eagerly for the good news.
Their mission is to discover the land.
The number, customs, strengths and weaknesses, and Dasus were to be grasped immediately on the actual conditions of the inhabitants of the land of Canaan. They were also asked to observe the land of Canaan carefully and bring the representative fruit products of the land as evidence, whether it is fertile, parched, suitable for agriculture, suitable for livestock, or fortress or camp.
Soon they arrived and the report began.
However, the eyes are the same, but the report is completely different in 10:2. The negative and positive eyes, the eyes of faith and the eyes of unbelief, the result was 10:2. The report of the eyes of disbelief was victorious, and Israel gave up the Canaanite dream and returned to the wilderness. Sometimes the true dreams of the saints have to be closed because of the eyes of disbelief.
They actually saw a land flowing with milk and honey in the land of Canaan. I also saw the descendants of women with majestic bones. It is proof that life is abundant. We also brought our own amazing produce. It is a fruit that is coveted enough to be eaten by two people by threading it.
Still, their reports were strikingly different. This is the difference between the eyes of faith and the eyes of unbelief. Unbelief eventually breeds despair, and faith breeds the conviction that hope is hope. Unbelief produces bitter and grievous sorrow, and faith abounds in joy. The eye of faith reveals the faithfulness of God. Faith pleases God more than service. Faith always precedes experience even if it has not experienced the promise. Experience cannot precede faith, but experience follows faith.
In the first half game, the disbelieving ones, sadly, won 10-2. However, in the last minute of the second half, the curtain on the wilderness comes to an end with a comeback victory 10-2. The ten spies died in the wilderness, and the two spies Joshua and Caleb entered the land of Canaan.
May you be victors who can truly see the truth, those who have two eyes of faith while you live in your world.
