Caleb was a man of great faith and trust in God. He had brought forward a good report to the children of Israel concerning Canaan that they were able to overcome while the others thought themselves to be as powerless as grasshoppers (Num 13:34).
Later on when finally the 40years of wandering in the wilderness was over, Caleb as courageous as ever though 85years old declared to Joshua "Give me this mountain" (Joshua 14:12) this mountain had three Giants according to Joshua 15:14 but he cared less because he knew the capacity of his God was comparable to non and hence no Giant could defeat him if the Lord was with him.
We too maybe facing Giants in our lives, Giants of unemployment, Financial difficulty, sickness, death, academic pressure...name your giant I will name my God: *The Lord God Almighty* before whom no Giant can stand. Things may be seemingly hopeless but remember with God "nothing shall be impossible" Luke 1:37 TRUST in God. Here's an Acronym I thought of regarding Trust in God:
T-Take Him at His Word
R-Rest in faith that God's in control
U-Understand God's ways are best
S-Surrender your life & will to Him
T-Tap into his Grace through prayer
Here's a verse I want you never to forget whenever fearful Giants arise to scare & frighten you in life:
Eph 3:20 "Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us" AMEN
Have a blessed week, trusting in God alone to help you overcome every obstacle or Giant by his unchanging, unfailing grace.
