What you constantly focus on will eventually become a reality in your life.
If we focus on our losses, it is easy to get a wrong picture for life. Decision is to view from the positive side of life is very paramount after the loss of a loved one, if not getting back on one's feet will become difficult.
I was connected to a lady Pharmacist in another country, who lost her husband suddenly. I used to call her regularly, I would pray with her, and encourage her that things would get better by the day. She kept telling me that she didn't see any hope in living, and she couldn't just cope with life without her spouse.
She became so sick emotionally, got admitted in the hospital, and died a few weeks after.
Her mindset was already compromised with lies that changed the course of her health.
The twelve spies that were sent to check out the land of Canaan all saw the same thing. The land was full of milk and honey; but at the same time the land giants; the Anak, the Amelekites, the Hittites, the Jebusites etc. Physically these were the kind of people that were in that land. God was expecting these people to see beyond the physical challenges that existed in that land. If you notice carefully in this account, the realities of the giants became bigger to them than the milk and honey that was available in that land. Based on what they were seeing they came to a conclusion “.... We be not able to go up against the people; for they are stronger than we.” This conclusion was based solely on what they saw with their physical eyes.
God wants us to see beyond the physical. We must see into the realm of the Spirit. We must see clearly what God has made available to us. We must see beyond the immediate challenges in our environment. We must see clearly what God is doing and what he can do.
Joshua and Caleb saw differently. They went beyond the physical sight to see the possibilities of God in that situation. What they saw became their declaration. Whatever you are talking about is what you are seeing. The mouth gives expression to what the “eyes” is seeing. If you are seeing failure; your mouth will express it. If you are seeing victory your mouth will also declare it. What you see is what you get; choose to see differently. Sight is purely an individual responsibility.
CONFESSION:
I see possibilities; I see victory on every side. I see greatness in my life. I see promotions.
Num 13:28
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.
