When Moses sent twelve spies into the Promised Land, all twelve witnessed the same land. Yet only Joshua and Caleb returned with a report that reflected faith in God’s promises. The other ten spies allowed what they saw to shape what they believed, causing fear to spread throughout the camp. Although they had godly names, they failed to trust the God. Caleb, however, stood out because God Himself testified that he had “a different spirit”. Like Caleb, we are called to develop a different spirit in a world that is often driven by fear, doubt and human reasoning. We can cultivate this different spirit by allowing God to transform the way we see, the way we feel, and the way we act.
A Different Spirit
