"Do not rebel against the Lord, and don't be afraid of the people of the land. They are only helpless prey to us! They have no protection, but the Lord is with us! Don't be afraid of them!" ~Numbers 14:9, NLT
These words are what Joshua and Caleb told the Israelite community before Moses had died when they were able to cross the Jordan and to take the Promised Land. As you probably know, the Israelites did rebel against the Lord, and they paid for it with 40 years roaming in the desert.
What do I think this verse tells us? I think it tells us that if God gave us a promise that He will make a way for us. We shouldn't be afraid of failure, we shouldn't need to be reminded of our purpose in God's will, and we should remember that God is with us! Our enemies are ill prepared to take on the awesomeness that God bestows upon His children, our enemies don't stand a chance against God's promise. We don't need to be afraid of doing poorly; we just need to trust that God has a plan and that we are following in it.
If we really are following in God's plan, it'll work out. If not, God will let you know - as long as you're listening!
Don't disrespect God and throw His promises away. Work towards them, believe it will happen, and walk in the plans that God has for you!
