5Then Moses and Aaron fell facedown before the whole assembly of the congregation of Israel.
6Joshua son of Nun and Caleb son of Jephunneh, who were among those who had spied out the land, tore their clothes 7and said to the whole congregation of Israel, “The land we passed through and explored is an exceedingly good land. 8If the LORD delights in us, He will bring us into this land, a land flowing with milk and honey, and He will give it to us. 9Only do not rebel against the LORD, and do not be afraid of the people of the land, for they will be like bread for us. Their protection has been removed, and the LORD is with us. Do not be afraid of them!”
Facedown or stand up!
Moses and Aaron fell facedown in prayer to the Lord and if they had said anything to the people the response wouldn’t have been good!
But Joshua and Caleb stand up for the Lord and His promise!
But how do the people respond to them? Stay tuned!
When the people around us rebel against the Lord we should either follow Moses and Aaron example, fall facedown in prayer to the Lord or stand up to them like Joshua and Caleb! Follow the Holy Spirit’s guidance not the crowd!
Joshua and Caleb will be rewarded for their faith.
Will you?
Blessings
