God\u2019s promise was Israel\u2019s title deed to the land as well as His guarantee that they would defeat their enemies. God\u2019s promise was all Israel needed, but the nation doubted God\u2019s Word and began to walk by sight instead of by faith.\u00a0They could easily see the prosperity that would come with the promised land. One cluster of grapes had to be carried by two men! But when they began to listen to the rumors about the people in their way their faith in God’s promise waned. Their perspective changed. They began to compare themselves and their natural power to others. But God told them to go in HIS power. His power is more than enough! Stop seeing yourself as alone in the fight. Remember, God is on your side!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
