Daily Bible Reading - Tuesday - November 10th
Reading the devotional reminds of a saying when you take a half of glass of water, “Is the glass half full or half empty." It’s all in how you look at the situation, when you look at it with a negative spirit the glass is half empty, when you look at it with a positive spirit the glass is half full, sounds kind of silly I know, but in different situations the outcome sometimes depends on how you look at it. When your in a situation and look at it negatively its gonna look like a bad impossible situation and be one that you wont be able to get out of but if you take that same situation, look at it through God’s eyes and be positive about it, you’ll come through it victoriously every time I promise ya.

Daily Devotional
"But My servant Caleb, because he has had a different spirit and has followed Me fully, I will bring into the land which he entered, and his descendants shall take possession of it"
(Numbers 14:24, NAS)
One time in Scripture, Moses sent twelve men to spy out the Promised Land. The people of Israel were camped right next door and excited about possessing the land. But after 40 days, ten of the men came back with a negative report. They said, "Moses, there are giants in the land, and we'll never defeat them." That negative report spread throughout the rest of the camp, and the people began to murmur and complain.
But one of the spies named Caleb said, "Moses, we are well able to defeat these people. Let us go up at once and take the land!"
It's interesting that they all saw the same land, the same cir****tances, yet they had totally different views. How could their reports be so opposite? Here's how: Caleb had a different spirit. He saw things with a different perspective. Others were focused on the giants, but Caleb was focused on his God. The people who complained never actually made it into the Promised Land, but Caleb did. He accompanied a new generation that chose the blessing of God.
Today, choose to have a different spirit. Don't listen to what everyone else says, listen to what God says. Choose to believe His Word, and He will carry you into your promised land!
