They say you never know what you got till it's gone. After nearly two years in the desert, the end was in sight. Moses sent out twelve men to investigate Canaan, the land God promised they would possess.

The men came back. Of the twelve, only two remembered that God was able lead them to victory against any odds. The other ten were terrified by what they saw, and, in turn, caused the rest of the Israelites to fear.

They forgot that the God who was powerful enough to destroy Egypt's army was also powerful enough to drive out the Canaanites. As a result, the blessings of the Promised Land would not be enjoyed until 40 years later by the next generation.

When the people heard this, they decided they would go up to the land God promised. But it was too late. God had spoken.

It may not seem like it, but God is here. Don't wait until it's too late to do what He wants you to do.
