TWO MEN OF GREAT FAITH

Joshua and Caleb, men of great faith
Examples and encouragers
To the human race.

Examples of men, who have
The courage of their convictions;
Courage in the midst of
Death threatening opposition.

Encouragers' of those whose
Position is in the minority,
Could not be intimated,
Though threatened by the majority.

Twelve men sent to spy
On the land of Canaan;
Only Joshua and Caleb,
Believed they could whoop 'em.

By their own strength,
The ten cowardly men,
Viewed those giants
Occupying the promised land.

But Joshua and Caleb,
Viewed those giant men
From the stand point of God,
The great and Almighty "I AM"

Victory could have been theirs
That was God's choice.
He would help them win the battle,
If they obeyed His voice.

But alas, those ten unbelievers,
Over Joshua and Caleb, prevailed
To persuade the majority
If they attacked, would surly fail.

On dear reader of this poem,
The majority is not always right!
But as someone said,
"In the will of God, you
Will win every fight."
