02/09/2025 The People Doubted (Numbers 13–14)

After Israel left Sinai, God led them through the wilderness to the land He had promised Abraham. God was faithful to keep His promise and brought His people to spy out the land He was going to give them. Moses chose twelve men, one from each tribe of Israel, to see if the land was good and to bring a report back to the people. Rather than focus on the good land God was giving them, they gave a negative report about the land based on the people living there. They focused their mind on the strength of the people rather than the promises of God.
