grasshoppers
I think I've heard at least 40 sermons in my lifetime about this passage and the failure of the spies to see God's hand. Usually it's pitched as reason to trust God in the face of steep opposition. Well, as much as I'm jaded by those sermons I can't help but swell with confidence as I read this passage. I want to be Caleb. I want to engage reality while trusting God for who He is - majestic and powerful. Only the Holy Spirit can do that in me. I don't have the will power alone; even if I did I would just be building my own name.
