The Spies and Lent
By Larry Linville

Scripture: Numbers 13:25

Moses sent twelve young men into the promised land.
It took forty days for this shaky little band.
Ten of them came back with a real negative view.
The others felt that their God could help them get through.

When we enter our lent quest toward a promised land
our success is set up by our positive stand.
We can side with the ten and fall on our face
or follow the two and improve the human race.

Lent is a time to consider all of our odds
and where we have been following other gods
as we turn our thoughts to what God can do with us
as He turns our negative lives to a big plus.
