Plurality Vs. Promises
The children of Israel were a leery lot. Even after seeing and experiencing God at work for nearly 40 years, they could not put their trust in Him unreservedly. They were dismayed and were full of disbelief and doubt when the tidings came from the hill country of the Amorites. Quite often we too tremble on hearing reports of men. All too soon, we forget how the Lord has led us thus far and give room to the devil who has been specializing in dubiety right from the time of Eve.
Do our knees buckle at the first sight of the Amorites? Between the majority negative and minority positive, do we tip on the side of the former because we lack faith?
“Standing on the promises of God”!
