Don't back off from God's Blessing

"Don't settle for mediocrity when God has destined you for greatness".

     After Moses sent out the 12 spies, ten of them came back with a bad report. This bad report stirred up a great fear and dilemma to all the tribes that they came to a point where they wanted to choose a leader, apart from Moses and Aaron, who will lead them back to Egypt. This event happened even after the children of Israel saw the great wonders and the saving grace which the LORD had done in the very sight of these people.

     How sad it is that many of us today have decided to back off or settle in mediocrity just because we heard 'other' people say that what lies ahead is 'impossible' to hurdle. Like the Israelites in the wilderness, they would prefer to remain slaves in Egypt rather than to inherit the land that the LORD has prepared and promised to them. They'd rather rot in slavery than to reign and possess the land through faith. They were not fully persuaded that God is always fighting their battles. No matter how enormous the enemies are, they always become microscopic in the eyes of the LORD God almighty.

     Let's not be numbered among those who doubt if the LORD will really fight our battles or not. Let's not be numbered among those who back off from the great promise of provision that God has prepared just because there are 'giants' along the way. But let's be numbered among those whose trust is in the LORD. He has always fought the battles for His people even back then. Knowing that He is the same today,yesterday,and forever, He is and will always be willing to fight your battles. And take note, when He fights, He always wins!
