This is the day.

Numbers 32:9 For when they went up unto the valley of Eshcol, and saw the land, they discouraged the heart of the children of Israel, that they should not go into the land which the LORD had given them.
 
Here is a warning!!!! Your attitude will affect others.  This is a reminder by Moses of the attitudes of the ten spies who were afraid to go into Caanan.  These ten men would not trust God, would not honor Moses, and tried to kill Joshua and Caleb, and because of their attitude caused a whole generation to be destroyed.   The attitudes of these men stank, and, therefore, they caused others to have bad attitudes as well.  These men had seen the promises of God, they had seen the land of promise, they had experienced the bounty of the land, and they had marvelled at the ablility of God to provide in this land of promise.  However, because of a perceived weakness on their part, they decided that they could not claim God's promises.  Their decision caused ALL of the adults of the nation of Israel, but two (Caleb and Joshua) to miss out on the blessings of God, and to ultimately be destroyed in a state of cursing rather than blessing.  YOUR ATTITUDE AND YOUR ACTIONS DO AFFECT THOSE AROUND YOU.
