Maturity?

I read the account of the twelve spies sent in to check out the Promised Land this week in Numbers 13. As I was thinking about the events recorded, I noticed something. The mature people - Moses, Aaron, Caleb, Joshua - were pushing the people to move forward in faith. They were the ones shouting, "We can do this! God is with us!"

Then I thought of those who are considered mature today. Most of them are not shouting, "Let's go! God is for us!" They are asking questions like, "Can we afford this?"

No offense intended to anyone or any age group, but where'd the faith go? Where are the mature believers who are ready to take the hill country?
