Numbers 13:33 "There we saw the giants (the descendants of Anak came from the giants); and we were like grasshoppers in our own sight, and so we were in their sight."
Everyone has situations in their lives that when looked upon seem like giants. Like the children of Israel in the Scripture passage I quoted, we feel inadequate to confront them and sometimes do everything we can to avoid them, which ends up as us making the wrong choices and suffering for it, like Israel. There is, however, another way to look at giants.
Numbers 14:9 "Only do not rebel against the Lord, nor fear the people of the land, for they are our bread; their protection has departed from them, and the Lord is with us. Do not fear them."
The problems we see as giants, God sees as our lunch, bread for a sandwich. When Yeshua taught us to pray He said:
Matthew 6:11 "Give us this day our daily bread."
Is it possible Yeshua was preparing us for our daily encounters with the giants in our lives? Was He also saying that they are not giants at all but our bread that we can eat for breakfast, lunch or dinner? So, next time we are confronted with a problem that to us appears like a giant, remember to God it is our lunch!
Hi Ellen here…Praying continually in the Spirit throughout the day and even in the night is an exercise that not only opens windows in heaven but draws us closer to the Lord. Our Abba waits to hear us not only in corporate prayer meetings or when we are on our knees in our prayer closets. Continual communication brings blessings, answers, direction, guidance and so much more. When I read the Scriptures concerning how Yeshua went up to pray and found his disciples sleeping upon His return, I am convicted but also can relate. Prayer is our hearts poured before the altar of grace and Yeshua says His grace is sufficient for us…we may not receive that house we have been praying for but our Abba has a mansion for us in heaven. BOTTOM LINE – PRAY!!!
