The Promised Land’s Anthem

When the spies

Return from their scouting mission

With their conflicting reports—

I bless you to believe

The Truth

About the promised land

In front of you.

Though the fearful news

(“a land that devours… we seemed …

Like grasshoppers)

Might be the majority report,

May your spiritual ears be tuned

To Joshua and Caleb’s intel:

“Let us go up at once

And occupy it,

For we are able to overcome it.” (Numbers 13:30)

You have a place of promise

In front of you—

A land flowing with milk and honey,

A land of sweet fruit.

Will there be challenges?

Yes.

Will there be obstacles?

Sure.

But the fruit in front of you

Is too sweet

To let fearful spies

Melt your heart like wax

With their wicked report.

Be filled with the Truth,

Child of God,

You can occupy your promised land.
