The
Ten Spies
The failure of the ten spies was looking at the situation in the land by
their own sight (Num. 13:28, 32-33). As they were spying out the land, they saw the giants
and the walled cities and were frightened. Unlike Joshua and Caleb, they did not turn
their eyes to God. They failed because they relied on their knowledge and refused to trust
in the Lord (cf. Num. 13:30; 14:6-9). Whenever you are in a difficult situation, do not
survey it according to your own eyes. If you do this, you will turn away from God. In a
difficult situation you need to close your eyes, turn yourself in your spirit to God, and
pray to Him. Then you will be rescued. Because the ten spies looked at the situation by
their own sight, they did not trust in the Lord as did Caleb and Joshua. Joshua and Caleb
told the people, "Forget the situation and trust in the Lord. The Lord is higher than
the walls of the city and He is greater than all the giants." The difference between
the ten spies and Joshua and Caleb was that the two trusted in the Lord and the ten
surveyed the situation by their own understanding, that is, according to their own
knowledge.
