| Our Enemies Are "Our Bread"
One of the great principles of trust in HaShem is: "No one can help you or hurt you, unless HaShem so decrees." The spies set off mass hysteria by claiming that Klal Yisrael would be defeated by the inhabitants of Eretz Yisrael. Calev courageously countered their fears by stating that the inhabitants of Israel are as "harmless to us us a slice of bread." Meaning, just as a slice of bread can do no harm, so too, the enemy troops have no power over us because HaShem decreed that we will conquer the Land of Israel.
Lesson: HaShem is the King of the universe and controls the actions of every creation. Therefore, it is inappropriate to fear or put your trust in any man.
Visualization:Envision Yehoshuah leading the Jewish troops to attack Jericho. See the Kohanim blowing the Shofar as they circle the city. Envision the walls of Jericho tumbling down and the inhabitants caught by surprise. See Yehoshuah defeat Yericho and sing a song of thankfulness to HaShem.
