Numbers 13:30 – And Caleb stilled the people before Moses, and said, Let us go up at once, and possess it; for we are well able to overcome it.
Today most are full of excuses why they can’t serve, stand or surrender to the work of God. There is a song that says, “Excuses, excuses, we hear them every day”. In Numbers there are 12 spies they sent to spy out the land. Ten of them said, “We are not able” to go up and had different excuses why they couldn’t. The other 2 (Joshua and Caleb) said, “Let us go up at once and possess it for we are well able to overcome it.”
Note some men who said they could:
Joshua 14:12 – Caleb said,”I shall be able to drive them out
I Sam. 14:6 – Jonathan said, “ Come, let us go.” There is no restraint to the Lord.
I Sam. 17:32 – David said ,”Thy servant will go and fight with the Philistine.”
Philippians 4:13 – Paul said, “I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.”
In closing – May God increase our faith, courage, strength
Read Proverbs 3:5-6, Isaiah 40: 27-31
