And you know, as a result of that,

They actually thrived in the wilderness when everyone else died in the wilderness because they were different.

And God has called you and I to be different of an excellent spirit.

You may be in a place right now that's hard and difficult.

You may not see how you're going to get out, but you think about Joshua and Caleb and how they continued to promote the Lord.

They continued to work for God.

They didn't die, but they thrived in the wilderness.

And do you know because they thrived in the wilderness, they were able to take the next generation of Israelites into the promised land and possess what God said they were going to possess?

You know what I find really interesting about this good attitude that they had?

The Bible said that when they went into the promised land, Joshua and Caleb, and took the next generation, they said to the Lord, we feel better than we ever have.

We feel stronger than we ever have.

And we're ready to take this land.

You see, they were ready to take the land back then.

Their report was, we can certainly take this land.

And that's how we have to be.

We have to be of a report.

We can certainly do this.

We can certainly fight through this because God is going to actually fight our battles for us.

If we'll just stay in an attitude of faith and trust, God can do it.

When Joshua took the next generation of Israelites into the promised land, this was his motto.
