When did God do something miraculous for you? When were you healed? When did God deliver you? When did God show up? In Numbers 14:22-23, God said: “Because all those men which have seen my glory, and my miracles, which I did in Egypt and in the wilderness, and have tempted me now these ten times, and have not hearkened to my voice; surely they shall not see the land which I sware unto their fathers, neither shall any of them that provoked me see it.” The Promised Land was God’s gift to His people. His power had no limits to get them there, but their unbelief limited His ability to bless them. That generation had forgotten what He had done for them—the deliverance, the provision, the miracles—and as a result, they died without ever achieving their calling, which was to take the Promised Land. Limitless Possibilities You have a decision to make. You can take CAVU, or you can stay where you are. You can have feast, or you can have famine. To have the feast God has provided for you, you will have to overcome barriers. Roger Bannister was told that it was impossible for a man to run a mile in less than 4 minutes. He set out to prove that wrong. He trained. He cross-trained. He ran uphill. He ran downhill. On the day of the race, the weather was not perfect, but he had studied aeronautics and wind and physiology. With the world watching, he did something no one else had ever done. He broke the 4-minute-mile record. For the running world, breaking the 4-minute mile was like scaling Mount Everest. It seemed impossible, but Roger Bannister did it. That’s living a life with CAVU! God wants all of us to get this truth of CAVU inside us. We see it time and again in Scripture. In Luke 1:37, the angel said to Mary, “For with God nothing shall be impossible.” In Luke 18:27, Jesus said, “The things which are impossible with men are possible with God.” Philippians 4:13 says, “I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.” With God, there are no limits. With God, you’re a barrier breaker! Follow God’s Instructions In the book of Numbers, we see the account of Moses sending men to look at the Promised Land of Canaan they were about to inhabit (Numbers 13:1-2). It was theirs, but when the men returned, their report lacked faith. "And they told him, and said, We came unto the land whither thou sentest us, and surely it floweth with milk and honey; and this is the fruit of it. Nevertheless the people be strong that dwell in the land, and the cities are walled, and very great: and moreover we saw the children of Anak there.... And Caleb stilled the people before Moses, and said, Let us go up at once, and possess it; for we are well able to overcome it. But the men that went up with him said, We be not able to go up against the people; for they are stronger than we. And THEY BROUGHT UP AN EVIL REPORT of the land which they had searched unto the children of Israel, saying, The land, through which we have gone to search it, is a land that eateth up the inhabitants thereof; and all the people that we saw in it are men of a great stature" (verses 27-28, 30-32, emphasis added). 24 : BVOV
