Let’s Go!

Victory belongs to the Lord

Today’s Through the Bible Reading: Numbers 11 - 13

Abbreviated Reading: Numbers 13

“Let us go up at once and take possession, for we are well able to overcome it.” Numbers 13:30

In today’s reading we find the spies scouting out the promise land. Joshua and Caleb came back ready to fight and take possession, but the others were daunted by the task and fearful of the giants.

God had promised to fight for Israel. He promised to give Israel the land and lead them along the way. Israel just had to TRUST and STAND FIRM (2 Chron 20:15-17). Sound familiar? In every Old Testament story there is a picture for a New Testament principle. This is what God promises to us! He has fought the battle; the giants in our lives have been conquered by the blood of Christ. Satan no longer rules over us. The enemy was defeated on the cross. We just have to put on our armor, trust and stand firm (Eph 6).

Do not be afraid nor dismayed because of this great multitude, for the battle is not yours, but God's… Take up your positions; stand firm and see the deliverance the LORD will give you 2 Chronicles 20:15, 17

God is mighty to save. He has conquered our enemy and has given us victory.

You are of God, little children, and have overcome them, because He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world. 1 John 4:4

Be encouraged today by Joshua and Caleb’s response to the giants and watch as God fights your battles for you.
