“Our eyes can’t the great things prepared for us. So don’t rely on what you see, but on what the Lord is saying”
Every person will, or has already encountered giants in their lives. Giants represent difficulties in our lives. The term “trials” applies to everyone. We will all go through it, but not everyone will be able to conquer it in the same way.
In the Bible, in book of Numbers 13:32-33, When the twelve spies Moses sent to Canaan returned, ten of them concluded “We are not able to go up against the people, for they are stronger than we” (Numbers 13:31). They got intimated by the giants that their natural eyes saw and it caused discouragement and fear to the Israelites to invade Caanan even though God had promised that he’d help them.
Sometimes in our life, our natural eyes saw how big the giants (difficulties, trials and storms) that we need to face and sometimes we get intimated by it. We think that there is no way to get out of it or the storm is to strong or big for us. Where in fact, we don’t need to feel that way because God has a promised that He will be with us and He is stronger and mightier than we think He is! We don’t know how the Lord is working (Ecclesiastes 11:5) unless, God opened our spiritual eyes as we asked Him. Same thing happened to Elisha’s servant in 2 Kings 6:15-17.
Don’t be discouraged by the giants in front of you because you don’t know how the Lord is working. But one thing is for sure, “It is more than what we could imagine and higher than what we expect”.
