People once thought the world was flat and that you would sail off the edge. They thought man would never walk on the moon. In 1899 the U.S. patent office almost closed because the CEO said, "Everything that can be invented already has been." In retrospect his statement is ridiculous. But some of us have bought into the same philosophy about our lives. We stop learning because we're "too old." We're afraid to change careers in case we "jeopardize our pension." We don't pursue our dreams in case we fail or get ridiculed. We're so accustomed to self-imposed limitations that we tell ourselves, "I can't do that, so I can't do anything." In essence we're building a box, crawling inside, then looking for something to blame for our lack of faith. God didn't box you in, you did, and you need to take the initiative for breaking out!

..........When you get down to it, there's very little difference in people. But the little difference amounts to a big difference, and the little difference is attitude; it determines whether you see life through the eyes of faith or the lens of fear. When others around him saw only giants and wanted to turn back, Caleb said, "If the Lord delights in us, then He will bring us into this land and give it to us" (Nu 14:8 NKJV). At that point two things happened. First, "All the congregation said to stone them" (v.10). Second, "The glory of the Lord appeared in the Tabernacle." Caleb's critics said "no," but God say "yes." All you need is God's approval. When you have it, disregard the naysayers and move forward!
