Topic: Confront Your Giants

Text:  "…Let us go up at once, and possess it; for we are
well able to overcome it" (Numbers 13:30).

When Israel had the opportunity to go up and
possess the land the Lord gave them in Numbers
13, instead of welcoming the opportunity they
shied away from it. They saw some giants in the
land and were terrified to face them because
they looked bigger and stronger. However, these
enemies were certainly no bigger than the
enemies they had faced previously back in Egypt.
So it would appear that they had developed
some kind of fear pattern that continued to
plague them, and it kept resurfacing each time
they faced a new challenge. Instead of being
ready to face the giants, they responded in
defeat. Caleb was the only one, besides Joshua,
who was ready to go into the land and face the
enemy (see Num. 13:30). He recognized they
were able to do it!
This pattern of responding to challenges and
enemies in fear, exhibited by Israel, is the same
pattern we deal with today. The things you don’t
address today will follow you into tomorrow. If
you have been afraid to face the giants in your
life, they will resurface in your future until you
deal with them. Don’t let the giants of your past
follow you anymore. Recognize that you are well
able to face every giant today!

PRAYER
Father, I ask that You would help me to deal with
every giant that has tried to plague my life. Help
me identify them and then face them head-on so
that I can embrace my future with freedom! In
Jesus’ Name, amen.
