JFH Devotionals by J.M. Farro


When All We Can See are Giants


The land we passed through and explored is exceedingly good. If the Lord is pleased with us, he will lead us into that land, a land flowing with milk and honey, and will give it to us. Only do not rebel against the Lord. And do not be afraid of the people of the land, because we will swallow them up. Their protection is gone, but the Lord is with us. Do not be afraid of them. - Numbers 14:7-9 NIV

These are the words of Joshua and Caleb, after returning from their exploration of the Promised Land, along with ten other "spies" sent out by Moses, their leader. God had promised the land of Canaan to the Israelites after He delivered them out of the hands of Pharoah in Egypt. The Lord had told His people that the land He was giving them was lush and fertile--"a land flowing with milk and honey." When the twelve spies scouted out the land in advance, they discovered that "all the people there were of great size" (13:32), and as a result, ten of the spies brought back a "bad report." Only Joshua and Caleb declared that they were able to conquer the giants, because God was on their side. And because of their faith in God and His promises in the face of certain defeat, they were the only two spies that made it to the Promised Land.

You may have some giants looming in your life right now. They may be financial troubles or health problems. Or problems with a parent, child, teacher, or boss. Maybe you've been struggling with your weight for years, and you don't see any way out. Whatever it is, remember Joshua and Caleb. When the other ten spies saw only giants, Joshua and Caleb saw God. There's a song that says, "Turn your eyes upon Jesus." If you'll do that today, God will see to it that you make it to the Promised Land!

Prayer: Lord, You know what I'm up against today. Sometimes my problems seem so big that all I can see is them, and not You. Help me to take my eyes off the giants in my life and fix them on You. Cause me to realize how big a God You really are, and how willing You are to face all my problems with me, if I'll let You. Thank You that with You beside me, the victory is mine!

- J. M. Farro
