I was reading Numbers 13 & 14 the other day. When the Israelites went to explore the land and all but 2 of them brought back a bad report. God was willing to take them into the land, they had opportunity to go. But the majority of them were afraid because there were adversaries. And then they convinced the whole nation not to go. Only Joshua and Caleb had faith to go through the door.
Number 13:30 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."
Numbers 14:6-9 Joshua son of Nun and Caleb son of Jephunneh, who were among those who had explored the land, tore their clothes 7 and said to the entire Israelite assembly, "The land we passed through and explored is exceedingly good. 8 If the LORD is pleased with us, he will lead us into that land, a land flowing with milk and honey, and will give it to us. 9 Only do not rebel against the LORD. And do not be afraid of the people of the land, because we will swallow them up. Their protection is gone, but the LORD is with us. Do not be afraid of them."
The bottom line is this. Every opportunity, every open door is going to have adversaries. But if God is with you, you will be able to overcome them. And fulfill your destiny. Many people fail to capitalize on God given opportunities, because they are afraid of the giants.
I want to take advantage of the opportunities that God opens. I am well able because He is with me and on my side!!!
