2 Samuel 7:1-29; Nahum 2:1-3:19; Romans 14:1-18
Let us go up at once, and possess it; for we are well able to overcome it. Numbers 13:30
Twelve Israeli spies were appointed to spy out Canaan. They returned to report that grapes, pomegranates and figs abounded there and the land was surely fruitful! But ten of them said, “We be not able to go up” (v. 31), because there were also giants there and the city walls were great. To defeat them was impossible. They reckoned the campaign of conquest without God. But, Joshua and Caleb countered—“Let us go up at once, and possess it; for we are well able to overcome it.” With God with them, they certainly could. Can He be that for you today? —K. C. Ung
Tis the grandest theme that the world e’er sung,
Our God is able to deliver thee. —W. A. Ogden
