Continued study of Numbers 13...
The men who went out on the spy mission told Moses the truth about the bountifulness of the land, but they were full of doubt and fear of the people and fortified cities, except for one guy, who boldly spoke up. Caleb's conscious kicked in and he interrupted their accurate, yet cowardly report.
My own paraphrase of Caleb's speech (13:30)...
"Look, I know this looks like a no win situation with how big these guys are how smart they have constructed their cities, but God has already said this land is ours! We are His people! Knock it off. Cowboy up and let's figure out a plan to conquer them. Is is amazing land, flowing with milk and honey and all the resources we need. Let's go! Whose with me?"
Thanks Lord for honorable men like Caleb who do the right thing even when it is definitely not the popular thing to do.
May my son grow up with these qualities.
