Genesis 38:1-30; Psalms 15:1-16:11; Matthew 21:33-22:14
Let us go up at once, and possess it (the land); for we are well able to overcome it. Numbers 13:30
We be not able to go up against the people; for they are stronger than we. Numbers 13:31
Knowing the promise of God, “I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee” (Heb. 13:5), we can confidently say “we are well able”, just as Joshua did. Our Lord is the Divine Enabler in dealing with every challenge or complexity of life. On the other hand, if we look first at the obstacle instead of the deliverer, we will be overwhelmed, defeated, and discouraged. —Wm. H. Gustafson
In Christ alone my hope is found,
He is my light, my strength, my song;
This cornerstone, this solid ground,
Firm through the fiercest drought and storm. —K. Getty, S. Townend
