WORD OF HOPE FOR TODAY by Ptr. Rolly Custodio
DON'T BE AFFECTED BY ANY CIRCUMSTANCES AND NEGATIVE PEOPLE BUT W/ GOD YOU CAN DO IT!
“We can certainly do it.” Nu 13:30 NIV
Today’s Insight
After seeing the giants in the Promised Land, ten of Israel’s twelve spies came back and said, “It can’t be done.” But the other two, Joshua and Caleb, said, “It can.” But because of Israel’s unbelief, Caleb had been forced to spend forty more years wandering through the wilderness. And by the time the Israelites crossed the Jordan River he was eighty years old. Then another five years passed before the various tribes of Israel were assigned land to occupy. Here’s how Caleb described it all years later:
“I was forty years old when Moses…sent me…to explore the land. And I brought him back a report according to my convictions, but my brothers who went up with me made the hearts of the people melt with fear. I, however, followed the Lord my God wholeheartedly” (Jos 14:7-8 NIV).
If you’ve a negative attitude when you’re forty, there’s a good chance you’ll have one when you’re eighty-five. Actually, there’s a good chance you won’t even make it to eighty-five! Psychologist Martin Seligman studied several hundred people in a religious community; he divided them into quartiles, ranging from the most to the least optimistic. Ninety percent of the optimists were alive at eighty-five, while just 34 percent of the naysayers made it to the same age.
Application
Twelve spies went out, but only Joshua and Caleb had the faith to say, “We can do it.” And forty-five years later Caleb was as feisty as ever! Want to guess what happened to the other ten spies? They died. None of them made it to Caleb’s age. Bottom line: Faith and optimism can add years to your life.
