In Number 13 and 14 we read that the people of God came to the very edge of the promise of God. There they stood ready to grasp the blessing He had promised them. Then, they discovered something. Giants stood in their way. They questioned, they shook with fear, and they wept and decided to turn back. Why? They believed that the giants were bigger than God.
What about us? We follow God’s direction. We have walked through some hard times. We know that he has promised us a blessing. THEN – GIANTS!
What will we do? How will we react? Faith is refusing to grumble against God because there are giants in the place he is leading you to. When faced with a problem will we lose faith in God? Or will we see the obstacle as an opportunity?
The miracles of God can take place when we run out of our own abilities. The miracles of God occur in the situations that we cannot handle. The miracles of God take place when we are faced with our own frailties. God often leads us to places where there are giants to show us how awesome and great our God really is.
The miracles happen when we step out of the safety of our boat to walk in the storm with Jesus. They happen when we bring our five loaves and two fish to a multitude. Miracles occur when we can do nothing but cry out, “Lord, Jesus, Son of God, have mercy on me!” Miracles occur when the brother has died and Jesus is late arriving. Miracles occur when He has been in the grave three days.
What giants are you facing? What weaknesses are you discovering? What miracle is God waiting to show you in the midst of it all
