And the people of Israel cried out to the LORD. They said to Moses, "Is it because there are no graves in Egypt that you have taken us away to die in the wilderness? What have you done to us in bringing us out of Egypt?

Is not this what we said to you in Egypt: 'Leave us alone that we may serve the Egyptians'? For it would have been better for us to serve the Egyptians than to die in the wilderness."

We are like grasshoppers to them

and They are giants to us

10 Spies

Convinced of the goodness of the land but unwilling to believe in the power of God

Convinced of the God's Power and trust in God's Ability

grasshoppers

2= out of the 600,000 men above 20 years old were allowed to enter and possess the land together with the young generation

Faith sees, dares and triumphs in the days of overwhelming difficulties

While fear runs, trembles and fails in the days of overflowing opportunities

Note: The days are the same

Fear paralyses the strongest of men

While faith energizes the weakest of men

Joshua and Caleb- at the age of 85- still feel and act as if they were only 40. The young men had acted as if they were without strength

Fear delayed the promises of God

While faith waits patiently through the delays caused by faithless men

For forty long wasted years one by one the faithless children of Israel perished in the

desert sands- in the prison of their self-made limitations

Joshua and Caleb were allowed to enter the land

Because they "had a different spirit" - (Numbers 14:24)

Fear canceled the promises of God. Their faithlessness put them outside

the circle of God's benefits

But faith was the channel by which Joshua and Caleb received the promises and blessings of God
