Only Two Out of the Twelve

(Numbers 13)

Only two out of twelve spies believed 

Of the other ten God was grieved 

Ten out of twelve only saw giants 

Depending on their own self reliance 

Unbelief kept them from the promised land 

God's power they did not understand 

Unbelief in our hearts can hinder us 

It can sadly lengthen our wilderness 

Israel gave themselves over to their fears 

Eleven days became forty long years 

Though they carried the cluster of grapes

Negative words became their mistake 

Even today there remains a division 

Between the Spirit led and those who choose religion

Will we listen intently to where this applies?

Will we be like the two believing spies?
