* Problems become larger than the promise when you lose sight of the Person!

* God promised a land flowing with milk and honey.

* The Israelites were on the border, but they asked if they could send spies (Deuteronomy 1:22).

* God let them go - He gave them what they wanted.

* Numbers 13:17-20 - Moses was doubting God.

* Vs 25-27 - the land was good.

* Vs 28-29 - but God is holding out on us - He didn’t tell us about the giants and they had fortified cities!

* ** What else is He withholding from us???

* Vs 30-33 - Because they were out of God’s will, they now had a vision problem.

* When they stepped out of God’s will they stopped seeing things according to truth.

* They saw problems, not possibilities.

* They saw opposition, not opportunities.

* They knew God had given a promise, but they didn’t expect problems along the way.

* KEY: The path to the promise is paved with problems, and the only way you’ll stay there is if you focus on the PERSON who made the promise!

* * What problems are you facing today? Those are the possibilities God has brought to you to fulfill His promise!

* Focus on the PERSON!
