“Until You See the Giants.”

It’s amazing how a lot of Bible scholars talk about faith. Many of them, “do have,” the gift of faith, and they are great men and women of God, because their faith has gone through the fire. But, many people write books about faith, but they fail to mention that sometimes, people will have faith, “until they see the giants!”

“I had faith for my cancer, until I saw the results. I had faith my son would be delivered from drugs, until he ended up on life-support. I had faith for my husband to be saved, until he ran off with another woman.”

In Numbers 13, we see a set of circumstances here… The Israelites had chosen men of all the tribes to “spy out the promised land, that their Lord had given them.” But, when they saw the giants, I can hear them say, “God, you promised us the land, but you never told us there would giants!” Well, He had never told them there would be a “Red Sea,” either, but maybe they had forgotten about that miracle.

We all have a great need that pounds our hearts and most have faith, “until they see the giants.” God could have killed the giants before the Israelites got there… but He had to make His children “tough!” God lets us face the giants because He knows we will win, and it will make us tough! It’s like the country song, by Johnny Cash, “A Boy Named Sue.” In the song, his father was dying and he named his son, “Sue” because he would need to learn how to fight! Always remember, God “really is,” on your side! We love you!!
