One of the most inspiring scriptures in the Bible is also so realistic about human nature. Twelve spies were sent to see the promised land. Only two brought back a good report. The others felt overwhelmed by the size of the people occupying the land..."like grasshoppers!" Ten did not see the power of God like Joshua and Caleb. Caleb is a real visionary and is ready to go!
"Then Caleb silenced the people before Moses and said, "We should go up and take possession of the land, for we can certainly do it."
Believe it or not the people are so negative about the bad report they are ready to "go back to Egypt." How revealing this is of human nature. Some are ready to charge the hill and others are ready to go back to Egypt. Are we any different today?
