Num 13: 1-22

CONCRETE ORDER TO EXPLORE OF ETERNAL
We are called soldiers of Christ (2 Timothy 2: 3). As God's people, we have spiritual battles to fight imperatively. By texte of today we learn faith and also two lessons to fight this war.

1) God appointed twelve chiefs (1-16)
God, through Moses, chose a man from each tribe, leader of the Israelites. God sent them to explore the country. What is the reason God chose and established the twelve heads of the Israelites? It is God who establishes, promotes, sends. What is the direction for the spiritual leader of this country to assume, fulfill the will of God?

2) The concrete order of exploration of God
Success for victory depends on faith and trust that God's people gave to Jehovah God. But look ver. 22. How the order to explore the country was concrete. Have you tried to find the concrete details to explore, fight, defeat the enemy? Do you obey concretely to the word of God to lead your struggle until victory? Or are some of you leading the way roughly, obeying what pleases you, rejecting what doesn't please you?

Prayer: Lord, thank you for this word, thou hast ordained leaders to lead the fight to victory, help us, we have a big fight ahead of us to explore and defeat the enemy, give us a concrete fighting order, and help us fight this battle until victory by obeying absolutely and concretely to your word.

One Word: explore the country (2)
