#3 To Whom Will You Listen

Paul Worden

Moses sent twelve men, one from each of the tribes of Israel, to spy out the Promised Land. After exploring for forty days, the men returned. The entire congregation was anxiously waiting to hear what these twelve leaders had to say. The spies told Moses, "We came to the land to which you sent us; surely it flows with milk and honey; this is its fruit" (Numbers 13:27, AMP). Can you imagine the excitement among the congregation as these twelve men showed them the fruit they had brought from the land? Just as God promised, the soil was rich and fertile. They brought back pomegranates, figs, and a single cluster of grapes that was so large it took two men to carry it on a pole between them. At long last, their waiting was over. Soon, they would be enjoying the fruit of the land and the blessings God had promised them!
