There also we saw the Nephilim (the sons of Anak are part of the Nephilim); and we became like grasshoppers in our own sight, and so we were in their sight.” (Numbers 13:33)
The more that we obsess about the giants in our lives, then we can start to lose confidence. The nation of Israel was poised to enter the promised land. Twelve spies entered the land and they discovered it was indeed a land that flowed with milk and honey. Ten of the spies focused on the challenges whereas two of the spies, Caleb and Joshua, focused on God and His promises.
Where is your focus when you face giants in your life – is it on the problems or God’s promises? If you feel overwhelmed at times, could it be that your God is too small? When David battled Goliath, many of the soldiers were afraid because he was so big, David reasoned, “He’s so big I can’t miss him.” David realized that God was bigger than the giant in his life.
We will face challenges in our lives and we can either focus on the problems or the God who can solve our problems. God is bigger than any problems that we will face – nothing is too difficult for God. Remember that God is with you and God is for you!
