FAITH CAPSULE: Know and understand that God does not fail in His plans and promises.

Numbers 13
During the wilderness journey, the children of Israel could not trust and have hope to see in the word of God to take them to the Promised Land. 
They trusted God to bring them out of the bondage of over four hundred years but had no hope for their arrival at the plans and promise of God.
While the Israelites were at the Wilderness of Paran, waiting to move into the Canaan, God spoke to Moses to send men to spy out to the land of Canaan. (Numbers 13)
Moses sent out spies to the land of Canaan. 
The spies returned with a report and said: “We went to the land where you sent us. It truly flows with milk and honey, and this is its fruit. Nevertheless, the people who dwell in the land are strong; the cities are fortified and very large; moreover, we saw the descendants of Anak there. The Amalekites dwell in the land of the South; the Hittites, the Jebusites, and the Amorites dwell in the mountains; and the Canaanites dwell by the sea and along the banks of the Jordan.” (Numbers 13:27-29)
The spies reported with trust, mentioning the goodness of the land.
However, the report was without hope because of the fear of the people of the land. Numbers 13:31-33 states, “But the men who had gone up with him said, “We are not able to go up against the people, for they are stronger than we.” And they gave the children of Israel a bad report of the land which they had spied out, saying, “The land through which we have gone as spies is a land that devours its inhabitants, and all the people whom we saw in it are men of great stature. There we saw the giants (the descendants of Anak came from the giants), and we were like grasshoppers in our own sight, and so we were in their sight.” 
The spy lacked trust and hope in the deliverance of God.
The lack of trust and hope prompted fear before God. 
Except for Joshua and Caleb, the Israelites complained and confessed negatively before God.
God responds to the negative confession of the Israelites: Numbers 14:28-30, “As I live,’ says the Lord, ‘just as you have spoken in My hearing, so I will do to you: The carcasses of you who have complained against Me shall fall in this wilderness, all of you who were numbered, according to your entire number, from twenty years old and above. Except for Caleb, the son of Jephunneh, and Joshua, the son of Nun, you shall by no means enter the land which I swore I would make you dwell in.”
Know and understand that God does not fail in His plans and promises, but it is the man that voids the condition to claim the promise of God.
Give full attention to the word of God that says blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord and whose hope is in the Lord. (Jeremiah 17:7)

Prayer for today: Ask God to locate you with trust and hope at all times.
