​

[Jehovah] will certainly bring us
into this land and give it to us.

—Num. 14:8.


​

Unlike the other spies, Joshua and Caleb brought back a positive report.
(Num. 14:6-9) They showed faith in Jehovah.

Even so, they had to wander in the wilderness for 40 years along
with the rest of the Israelites. Did Joshua and Caleb complain
or become bitter, feeling that this was unfair?

No.

They trusted in Jehovah.

Were they blessed?

Absolutely!

Whereas a whole generation died in the wilderness, both of these
men eventually entered the Promised Land. (Num. 14:30)

Similarly, we will receive Jehovah’s blessing if we do not “tire outâ€￾ in doing his will.

(Gal. 6:9; Heb. 6:10)

If you are discouraged because of problems, the imperfections of others,
or your own imperfections, what should you do?

Focus on Jehovah’s marvelous qualities.
Visualize the hope that Jehovah has given you. Ask yourself, ‘Where would I be without Jehovah?’
Always remain close to him, and never allow your heart
to become enraged against him!
