January 13
The concept that we can influence circumstances by the way we think about them is not unique to people of faith. There is a general consensus that our perception of a matter has a great impact upon its outcome. If we doubt our ability to perform a task, we increase our likelihood to fail.
On the other hand, if we believe in ourselves, we can propel ourselves into the bull’s eye of success by the sheer power of the momentum we gain by the power of positive thinking. Discipline and determination go a long way toward the attaining of a stated goal.
In Numbers 13:31, 32, the Israelites who had been sent to spy out the land did not come to consensus. Of the group, only Joshua and Caleb came back with a good report. The others said the inhabitants were too powerful to be defeated. They said, “We can’t go up against them for they are stronger than we are…”
The outcome of this discrepancy was: those who believed they could not were prevented by God from entering the land. Joshua and Caleb, on the other hand were rewarded for their faith in the promise of the God who had told them that the land was to be theirs. Outcomes are indeed affected by what we believe so, TRUST JESUS!
