When God was ready to take his people Israel into the promised land (Num 13-14), he told Moses to send twelve spy’s first to check things out. Two spies, Caleb and Joshua, brought back a good report and insisted that Israel was more than capable of taking the land. These two men trusted God. Ten spies came back and discouraged the people by describing the fortified cities, giants and the strength of the people. Israel would spend 40 years in the wilderness because of fear and their refusal to enter the promised land (Num 14:34).

If you are feeling overwhelmed by something you have to do today, say to someone or if God is taking you way out of your comfort zone, then remember the following verses. "I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me" (Rom 8:37; KJV). "Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us". (Phil 4:13). “Ye might be partakers of the divine nature” (2 Peter 1:4). "Strengthened with all might, according to his glorious power" (Col 1:11). “Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness” (Isa 41:10).   

All these and many more verses talk about the special strength and ability that God gives us as Christians. You may already be familiar with these verses but remind yourself of them and then; do what you have to do, in God's ability.
