Numbers 13:30 (NKJV) 30 Then Caleb quieted the people before Moses, and said, “Let us go up at once and take possession, for we are well able to overcome it.”
Let us go up at once and take possession!
Caleb had been one of the twelve Israelites who had been sent to spy out the land that God had promised them.
The land was everything God had said it would be, rich with produce and fertile for sustaining life. The fruit that they had brought back to show the others was huge in comparison to normal fruit. It took multiple men to carry it back.
And as they met with Moses and discussed what they had seen, the majority of the men spoke against moving in to take the land. in addition to the incredible bounty of the land, they had seen the inhabitants of the land, and they were very, very big.
In fact, some of them were giants.
But Caleb was not deterred. He knew what God had promised them and was ready to go after it and claim it, even though the majority of the others spoke against doing so.
God has put some things before every one of us. Some of them are very important in our lives and can, in fact, be life-changing.
Most of them will require defeating some giants in order for us to lay claim and take possession of them.
We have a choice. We can shrink back in fear and stay where we are, “wandering in the desert”. Or we can pursue those things and face those giants, defeat them and claim what God has put before us.
Which one will we choose? The choice is ours.
