Numbers 13:30-31 And Caleb stilled the people before Moses, and said, Let us go up at once, and possess it; for we are well able to overcome it. 31 But the men that went up with him said, We be not able to go up against the people; for they are stronger than we.
Another story that greatly illustrates faith is the story of the twelve spies who went out to spy out the land of promise. The Bible declares that ten of the men brought an evil report while only two brought good news. Both of these groups of people saw the same thing – the giants, how blessed the land was – but only two of them could see themselves possessing the land.
To begin with they left Egypt in order to go to the promise land and not to wander in the wilderness – the destination was the promise land. They had God with them hence there was no problem. It was God who asked them to go to possess the land; all they needed to do was to believe and go in for the kill. The evil report of the ten men polluted the whole camp that they were not ready to hear what Joshua and Caleb were saying – it looks like bad news sells faster than good news.
