In Numbers 13 we saw that rumors were starting to spread. How do you think the rumors affected the Israelites response to the report from the spies?
How do rumors affect our perspective?
*******************************************************************************************************************
Read Numbers 12:31-33
Notice in verse 31 that some of the spies say "We can't....". Do you ever find yourself saying "Our special needs family can't....", "I can't....." or " My special child can't....."? What causes that hesitation to do certain things that in reality with God's help we could do?

Week 2 (Tuesday-Part 2)
In Numbers 13:32 we see that 10 of the spies spread a bad report full of exaggerations. Do we as special needs parents fall into that same trap? What is the result when we do? How does that affect those around us?

As we close out week 2 of our Flip-side study on perspective here are some things to consider.
As we close out week 2 of our Flip-side study on perspective here are some things to consider.
When you look at your life, what is your perspective? Do you see "giants" or "grapes"? Do you tend to look at things as impossible and see the negatives, or do you focus on and remember how big God really is?
Pray and ask God to to bring to mind the times He has been faithful. Write them down as a remembrance of all He has done. Read the list on the dark days when the "giants" seem to want to overtake.
Ask God to reveal areas in your life where you are doing the following and ask Him to help you in those areas.
1. Saying "but" or making excuses to not do what God has called you to do. 2. Saying "I can't" or "my child can't" when God says you can. 3. Spreading or believing bad reports or exaggerating facts to cause chaos. 4. Gossiping
