‘If The Lord Is Pleased With
Us.’

Here we find the
positive report of the positive spies who went to look at the Land that God was
giving His People.

excellent Land.

exceedingly good Land.

Delights in His People and is pleased with them.

His People to the Land.

If the Lord is pleased with us! That is quite a big “if”, The thing about our
lives that pleases the Lord most is our Obedience to Him. It is also possible
for our Worship to please Him and for our attitude towards other people to
please Him. It is good to make the priority in our lives to be Pleasing to Him.
