Lack of Faith takemore than a life time.. Num13

God told the israelites that the promised land was rich and fertile. Not only that, HE promised that this bountiful land would be theirs. When the scouts reported back to Moses, they gave plenty of good reasons for entering the land, but they cant stop focusing on their fear. Talk of giants and fortified cities made it easy to forget about God's promise to help.
When facing a though decision, dont let negatives cause you to lose sight of the positives. Weight both sides carefully. Don let potential difficulties blind you to God's power to help and HIS promise to guide.
When the scouts returned, the people had to decide either to enter the land or to retreat. They chose to retreat and were condemned to wander 40 years in the wilderness. It was also at Kadesh that Moses disobeyed God. For this, He, too, was denied to enter the Promised Land.
