Grace for your spirit November14, 2013

Grace for your spirit
So they gave out to the sons of Israel a bad report of the land which they had spied out, saying, "The land through which we have gone in spying it out, is a land that devours its inhabitants; and all the people whom we saw in it are men of great size." Numbers 13:32

Do you know who any of these men are?  Shammua, Shaphat, Igal, Palti, Gaddiel, Gaddi, Ammiel, Sethur, Nahbi, Geuel,  Of the 12 men that were selected to spy out the land of Canaan, these are the names of the 10 that did not trust in God for victory.  Their bad report turned Israel around, back to idolatry, and death in the wilderness. Two of the spies believed God would give them victory but they were out shouted. They were Joshua and Caleb.  Do our words move people toward God or the other way?  Let's be remembered for our uplifting words.
