...so go up and LOOK AROUND!!

Chef Gusteau from Ratatouille... "If you hold onto the past you will never see what lies ahead of you... so go up and LOOK AROUND!" Those, my friends, are awesome words!! I am so thankful God uses so many different ways to communicate with and to me! God purposes us to move forward. Take the 2 spies that went to "check out the promised land"--remember what they said when they came back? I'll help ya, here's what they said.... Numbers 13:27-28b, 31-33 "They gave Moses this account: "We went into the land to which you sent us, and it does flow with milk and honey! Here is its fruit. 28 But the people who live there are powerful, and the cities are fortified and very large. But the men who had gone up with him said, "We can't attack those people; they are stronger than we are." 32 And they spread among the Israelites a bad report about the land they had explored. They said, "The land we explored devours those living in it. All the people we saw there are of great size. 33 We saw the Nephilim there (the descendants of Anak come from the Nephilim). We seemed like grasshoppers in our own eyes, and we looked the same to them." Grasshoppers? The eyes of fear 'blow up' your challenges (like taking things to Kinko's and having them enlarged), and make you seem small in their presence (Grashoppers). BUT the eyes of Faith blow up what God said... Number 13:30 'Then Caleb silenced the people before Moses and said, "We should go up and take possession of the land, for we can certainly do it." See? Go up-- for we can certainly do it!!! So let's be Caleb and Joshua.... "we should go up.....for we can certainly do it!!" YES YES and AMEN! Blessings in Abundance,
