But not all the Israelites accepted the good news. For Isaiah says, "Lord, who has believed our message? - Romans 10:16 (NIV).
These
days I hear some (not all of them) ministers who report the news of
the bad economy, the war in the Iraq, the oil crisis as if they were a
part of the secular media. They seem to accept the bad report that
media has given us.
Never do I hear these ministers saying, “This is what is happening, but this is what the Lord says...”
It’s
like the spies that Moses sent into the land of Canaan. Only two spies
believed the report of the Lord over what they saw with their natural
eyes. The others believed what their natural eyes told them.
Which
are you? Are you a Joshua and Caleb who saw things from God’s
perspective? Or are you like the other spies who accepted what they
saw in the natural?
We all need to take what we see in the
natural and compare it with the promises of God. If it doesn’t line
up, then we choose to believe God’s report over what we see with our
physical eyes.
When we do, the outward circumstances will eventually line up with the Truth of the Word of God.
