A Spy in the Land
I have three kids in college this year. The oldest two are boys. Boys tell
you nothing. But all three go to the same college, so sending in a girl this
year was really like sending a spy into the land. I told Kaley, "You'll be my
eyes and ears at college." Of course, now I'm wondering if I'll eventually be
expecting her to be my nose and mouth--maybe even a liver or a gizzard. No wait,
I don't even have that last one, do I? Hey, maybe that's why someone is going to
need to be my gizzard.
So who's going to be my heart--my lion heart? Who's going to be my courage? When
Moses sent spies to scope out the Promised Land, 10 of them were chicken-hearted
(you have to wonder if they had gizzards). They definitely needed to have
someone else be their heart. Two stood against the ten and said, "Let's go."
Where did they get that courage? They we relying on God to be their strength,
their courage…their heart!
I want to rely on God to be my heart, too. Even if no one ever agrees to be my
gizzard.
