2 Samuel 10:1-11:27; Habakkuk 2:1-20; Romans 15:14-33
[The spies said], all the people that we saw in [Canaan] are men of a great stature. And there we saw the giants. Numbers 13:32-33
Joshua…spake unto…the children of Israel…If the Lord delight in us, then he will bring us into this land, and give it us; a land which floweth with milk and honey…The Lord is with us: fear them not. Numbers 14:6-9
When faced with “giants”, the Israelites trembled. Short memories of God’s provisions, miracles and blessings left them panicked. Where was their memory of the Red Sea, water from the rock and manna from heaven? For us, what about our wonderful salvation and all the many blessings our Lord has showered upon us through the years? Trust your “giants” to Him. —Ken Gross
Safe in the arms of Jesus, safe on His gentle breast,
There, by His love o’ershaded, sweetly my soul shall rest. —F. Crosby
