Being Calebs!!!

The LORD said to Moses, "Send some men to explore the land of Canaan, which I am giving to the Israelites. From each ancestral tribe send one of its leaders." So at the LORD's command Moses sent them out from the Desert of Paran. All of them were leaders of the Israelites. These are their names:

from the tribe of Robbe, Sarah;

from the tribe of Dylewski, Dawna;

from the tribe of Beckett, Robert;

from the tribe of Dumont, Stephanie;

from the tribe of Milligan, Ruth;

from the tribe of Billingsley, Beckey;

from the tribe of Hutchinson, Zach;

from the tribe of Edgecomb, Cody;

from the tribe of Dylewski, Todd;

from the tribe of Milligan, Devin;

from the tribe of Billingsley, Kayla;

from the tribe of Urie, Robert.

They came back to Moses and Aaron and the whole Israelite community at Kadesh in the Desert of Paran. There they reported to them and to the whole assembly and showed them the fruit of the land. They gave Moses this account: "We went into the land to which you sent us, and it does flow with milk and honey! Here is its fruit. But the people who live there are powerful, and the cities are fortified and very large. We even saw descendants of Anak there. The Amalekites live in the Negev; the Hittites, Jebusites and Amorites live in the hill country; and the Canaanites live near the sea and along the Jordan."

Then Caleb silenced the people before Moses and said, "We should go up and take possession of the land, for we can certainly do it."

This new year is about taking possession of what God has being showing us. It's about not coming back with what cannot be done, but what God has promised and that we are able through Christ to accomplish it!! If we get stuck in just seeing it, we will easily find excuse to never move into the place of promise....and neither will the congregation we're called to lead. We have a choice to be Calebs of this generation. Let us take on all His promises!!!!
