---NOT FEAR but FAITH~~

--"The LORD is with us. Do not be afraid of them."
----(Numbers 14:9) --

---"My husband was offered a promotion in another country, but I feared leaving our home, so he declined the offer," my friend shared with me. She explained later that she sometimes wonders what they missed in not moving.

The Israelites let their anxieties paralyze them when they were called to inhabit a rich and fertile land that flowed "with milk and honey" (Exodus 33:3). When they heard the reports of the powerful people in large cities (Numbers 13:28), fear caused many of the Israelites to reject the call to enter the land.

But Joshua and Caleb urged them not to be afraid, saying the "LORD is with us" (14:9). Although the people there appeared large, the Israelites could trust God's presence.

My friend wasn't commanded to move to another country like the Israelites were, yet she regretted letting fear close off the opportunity. What about you--do you face a fearful situation? If so, know that the Lord is with you and will guide you. With His never-failing love, we can move forward in faith. ~~
