Ten were Bad and Two were good

When your memories become greater than your dreams, you have already written the last chapter. 
 ~Dave Engbrecht

Do you remember the song that we sang in Sunday School when we were young?

Twelve men went to spy on Canaan. Ten were bad and Two were good. 
What do you think they saw in Canaan? Ten were bad and two were good. 
Some saw giants big and tall.  Some saw grapes in clusters fall. Some saw God was in it all!
Ten were bad and Two were good.

Read the story about the spies who went into Canaan (Numbers 13-14). Are we living in the past or looking for what God has in store for us in the future? When God calls us to something, he always provides.  That is one of the ways that we can know that God is in it! The Israelites didn't trust that God would take care of them.  How many times do we settle for second best instead of God's best?  Listen to His heart today.

The whole community was in an uproar, wailing all night long. All the People of Israel grumbled against Moses and Aaron. The entire community was in on it: "Why didn't we die in Egypt? Or in this wilderness? Why has God brought us to this country to kill us? Our wives and children are about to become plunder. Why don't we just head back to Egypt? And right now!"
