Bible Verse of The Day – 8-11-20

Numbers 13:30 (NKJV) 30 Then Caleb quieted the people before Moses, and said, “Let us go up at once and take possession, for we are well able to overcome it.”

Caleb saw things through his faith in God. The others were looking at it through their own eyes; their own abilities.

We get into trouble when we try to do things on our own.

We need to make sure that when we attempt to do the things that God brings before us, we do them in His wisdom, strength, and timing.

He will not leave us to do things on our own. He will make sure He is right there with us.

Will we see it only being done through our own strength? Or will we let Almighty God help deliver to us that which He has promised?

Numbers 13:33 (NKJV) 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.”

As soon as they saw themselves as grasshoppers and the inhabitants of the land as giants, their faith went out the window and they let what they saw override what God had told them.

In other words, it got into their heads. And at that very moment, they lost the battle.

Caleb saw it.

It wasn’t like he hadn’t seen what they all saw. He did see it. But he knew in His faith that God was bigger, and he knew that’s how they would win the battle.

We can’t look at things through our own sight. If we are facing giants today, maybe at work, maybe in our health, maybe in school, maybe in our finances, or maybe in our home, we can’t let it stick.

Know that God is greater, and it’s on His Word that we stand.

He is our shield, our hiding place, when fear tries to overwhelm us.

Psalm 119:114 (NKJV) 114 You are my hiding place and my shield; I hope in Your word.

We can take the giants out if we stand firm in our faith, allowing Him to be bigger in our sight than the obstacle we may be facing!!
