Promise or Perspective

The story of the 12 spies shows us that is entirely possible to be presented with the same facts on the ground and come to entirely different conclusions.  That is, as people of God, we can either view the world through the lens of his promises or our perspective.  If we are going to follow God  in faith, even amidst significant struggle, we must look for his faithfulness, remember his power and listen to his word.  And his faithfulness and power are on its fullest display in Jesus - the living word of God.
