πŸ’₯ All things of the Old Testament happened for "our examples" for our admonition.

 

I Corinthians 10:11  Now all these things happened unto them for ensamples: and they are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come.

πŸ’₯  Numbers 13-14   God gives the children of Israel an assignment:

1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

2 Send thou men, that they may search the land of Canaan, which I give unto the children of Israel: of every tribe of their fathers shall ye send a man, every one a ruler among them.

3 And Moses by the commandment of the LORD sent them from the wilderness of Paran: all those men were heads of the children of Israel.

πŸ’₯πŸ’₯πŸ’₯

17 And Moses sent them to spy out the land of Canaan (by commandment of God), and said unto them, Get you up this way southward, and go up into the mountain:

18 And see the land, what it is; and the people that dwelleth therein, whether they be strong or weak, few or many;

19 And what the land is that they dwell in, whether it be good or bad; and what cities they be that they dwell in, whether in tents, or in strong holds;

20 And what the land is, whether it be fat or lean, whether there be wood therein, or not. And be ye of good courage, and bring of the fruit of the land. Now the time was the time of the firstripe grapes.

21 So they went up, and searched the land from the wilderness of Zin unto Rehob, as men come to Hamath.

23 And they came unto the brook of Eshcol, and cut down from thence a branch with one cluster of grapes, and they bare it between two upon a staff; and they brought of the pomegranates, and of the figs.

27 And they returned from searching of the land after forty days.

26 And they went and came to Moses, and to Aaron, and to all the congregation of the children of Israel, unto the wilderness of Paran, to Kadesh; and brought back word unto them, and unto all the congregation, and shewed them the fruit of the land.

27 And they told him, and said, We came unto the land whither thou sentest us, and surely it floweth with milk and honey; and this is the fruit of it.

28 Nevertheless the people be strong that dwell in the land, and the cities are walled, and very great: and moreover we saw the children of Anak there.

29 The Amalekites dwell in the land of the south: and the Hittites, and the Jebusites, and the Amorites, dwell in the mountains: and the Canaanites dwell by the sea, and by the coast of Jordan.

30 And Caleb stilled the people before Moses, and said, Let us go up at once, and possess it; for we are well able to overcome it.

This is the assignment God gave us.  Therefore we are "well able" to overcome anything that comes against this assignment.

*  As a mother you are well able to overcome through God who gave you these children.  You set your attitude by these Bible promises and Bible examples and keep your faith in God in each dealing of this life.

* If you are an husband, you have the wisdom given by the living God to deal with your wife and children.  Keep in mind wherein your strength comes for the job.

*  If you are called to be a minister of God, it is God who prepares you for the assignment, and teaches you, and guides you.  As long as God allows you to live on this earth you do your assignment, keeping your understanding that it is not in your own strength that you work but in the strength of God, doing HIS will.

πŸ’₯πŸ’₯πŸ’₯

As we read OT examples we see success and failure.  These examples are given to help us.  We learn from them, knowing "why" success came and "what caused" failure.

We set our path to succeed by these examples.

We walk in the way of the godly of the Bible.

David says:  I have set the LORD (The Word) always before me: because HE is at my right hand, I shall not be moved.  (Psalm 16:8)

We do not permit anything opposite to that Word from God to cause us to swerve from the direction, knowing it is God who has set our path.

Romans 8:27   In all these things we are more than conquerors through HIM that loved us.
