In Numbers 14, Moses sends the spies out to scout the Land of Canaan — all 12 of them. They scout the land for 40 days. Ten of them bring back a negative report. What they report is TRUE, which is the reality they discern with their senses. BUT it is not TRUTH. Yeshua called Himself the Way the TRUTH and the life! Anything that is not seen through His filter, though it may be TRUE, it is NOT TRUTH!!
It was TRUE that there were giants in the land . . . but that was not TRUTH!
It was TRUE that there were walled cities . . . but that was not TRUTH!
It was TRUE that these giants were powerful . . . but that was not the TRUTH!
Their untruthful statements stir the people to unrest.
Caleb, one of the spies, along with Yehoshua, brought the good report
They tried to get the people to listen to TRUTH, not what is TRUE
TRUTH —
“Adonai said we can take it so let’s go do it; He said it is ours;
“He has given it to us; so let’s possess it!”
They didn’t want to hear TRUTH!
They were too busy focusing on the walled cities, the giants, and they were so busy seeing themselves through the eyes of the enemies, what was true, indeed!!! But it was not TRUTH!
All night long they complained against TRUTH (Have you ever done it?)
All night long they murmured (Have you ever been there?)
“We should have died in Egypt
Or at least in the desert
Now we’ll die here
Our wives & children will be taken as plunder
Why not go back to Egypt”
Moses and Aaron fall to their faces in repentance.
YEHOSHUA the son of Nun tears his clothing and intercedes:
HE is the PRODDER, prodding his people to trust God. He says,
“This land is very good!
If the Lord is pleased with us,
He will lead us into the land!
Don’t rebel!
Don’t be afraid!
We will swallow them up!
Their protection is gone;
The Lord is with us!”
It is TRUTH that he speaks to them in the face of what’s TRUE.
Then they tried to stone TRUTH
!
Then God Himself, the voice of TRUTH speaks, but His TRUTH is not in their favor!
PRAYER: Father, we battle all day with TRUTH and what is TRUE! We have many times chosen what’s TRUE! Forgive us! Forgive us for complaining against TRUTH and even trying to silence it! Yeshua, you ARE TRUTH! Help us to see ourselves and this world from the TRUTH of your eyes. Amen!
