When the spies returned to the camp of Israel with their evil report of the giants and the fenced cities walled up to heaven, the people wept in dismay. Two only of all the host had the faith to perceive the real situation: "Fear not the people of the land, [said Caleb and Joshua,] for they are bread for us." (Numbers 14:9)
All that they have is ours, for God has given them into our hands; so the more and the stronger they are, the better will it be for us.
Threatening enemies, barriers apparently insurmountable, our own utter weakness and inability, all are bread for us--God's means of supplying us with strength and life.--Present Truth, March 26, 1903--Numbers 14:9
