Like the Israelites on the verge
of entering the Promised Land
I sometimes heed the voice of
the ten nay-saying spies
I make decisions
hold onto hopes
based on what I can accomplish
in my own power
I see only the obstacles
and the giants who oppose me
I want instead to trust my God
Like Joshua and Caleb
who spied the same land as the other ten
who saw the same giants
not as insurmountable obstacles
but as evidence that God would provide
Help me Lord to trust
You will overcome my obstacles
You will slay my giants
You will give me what You have promised
A life flowing with milk and honey
