God has feelings. Some words grieve His heart. Some words excite His heart. Unbelief brings the God of the Bible great pain. Faith brings Him great pleasure.
Twelve spies analyzed Canaan for 40 days. Moses and the people accepted the report of doubt from the ten spies instead of the report of faith from Joshua and Caleb.
Each day of doubt brought 365 days of heartache. Doubt is as contagious as faith.
“After the number of the days in which ye searched the land, even forty days, each day for a year, shall ye bear your iniquities, even forty years, and ye shall know my breach of promise.”
(Numbers 14:34)
