你见过“巨人”吗？
摩西派出的12个探子侦察迦南40天。当他们回来的时候，除了约书亚和迦勒以外，其余的人都悲观的报告说：“据我们看自己就如蚱蜢一样，据他们看我们也是如此。”（民13：3）
这些对神缺乏信心的人看到的只有困难和失败。委实，“巨人”很“大”，但，他们的神岂不是更大吗？他们怎么就这么轻而易举地把神带领他们走过旷野的事忘记了呢？
那十个不信的探子死在了旷野。约书亚带领以色列人进入应许之地。这事我们都知道。迦勒怎么样了呢？神祝福他，也把他带到了应许之地，因为他另有一个“专心跟从神”的心志（民14：24）。
设想一下有两个气球，其中一个充的是二氧化碳——飞不起来；另一个充的是氦气——放手就飞。同样道理，如果我们心中充满不信和恐惧，我们就“飞”不起来去侍奉神。
我们需要更多的迦勒——有心随从主的带领，因为他们被圣灵充满。你是一个有信心的迦勒吗？抑或只是一个看到“困难”这个巨人的“不信者”？

Do You See Giants?
The 12 spies who were sent out by Moses scouted the land of Canaan for 40 days. When they returned, all but Joshua and Caleb gave this pessimistic report: “We were like grasshoppers in our own sight, and so we were in their sight” (Num. 13:33).
These faithless ones saw only difficulties and defeat. Yes, the giants were great, but wasn’t their God greater? How could they so easily forget the way God led them through the wilderness?
The 10 spies who were filled with doubt died in the wilderness. We know that Joshua led the people into the Promised Land. But what about Caleb? God blessed him and brought him into the land too because he had a different spirit and followed Him wholeheartedly (14:24).
Think for a moment of two balloons. One is filled with carbon dioxide and cannot rise. The other balloon is filled with helium and immediately goes up. So too, if our hearts are filled with doubts and fears, we will not be able to rise in faith to do what God wants us to do.
We need more Calebs—willing to follow the leading of the Lord because they are filled with His Holy Spirit. Are you a Caleb of faith, or are you among the doubters who always see the giants of difficulty?
