God has already prepared victory for us, but we are not obeying God's word in faith.

Among the twelve spies who scouted the land of Canaan,

all but Joshua and Caleb reported,

"The people who live there are strong, and the cities are fortified and very large.

We even saw descendants of Anak there" (Num. 13:28).

They went on to tell Moses,

"We can't attack those people; they are stronger than we are" (v. 31),

and described the land as devouring its inhabitants,

with the people there being giants, descendants of Anak (vv. 32-33).

However, listen to what Rahab, a Canaanite inhabitant of the land,

said to the two spies sent by Joshua:

"I know that the Lord has given you this land and that a great fear of you has fallen on us,

so that all who live in this country are melting in fear because of you.

We have heard how the Lord dried up the water of the Red Sea for you

when you came out of Egypt, and what you did to Sihon and Og,

the two kings of the Amorites east of the Jordan, whom you completely destroyed

(Josh. 2:9-10).

Indeed, God had already caused all the inhabitants of the land of Canaan

to be terrified at the mention of Israel (v. 9; Ref.: v. 11).

Yet, the Israelites, upon hearing the evil report of the ten spies (Num. 13:32),

cried out loudly and wept all night (14:1), blaming Moses and Aaron (v. 2).

In other words, the Israelites did not believe in God (v. 11).
