Episode 99 – Beyond the Giants – Part 3

Those 10 spies who were sent out to the Promised Land were depending upon their physical senses and not enough upon the promises God had given them—that they would inherit the land because God said so. They were basing the promise of God upon their perception of the obstacle, and we all-too-frequently can do the same thing in our lives. They saw a giant and they said, "Well, it just can't happen. Well, there's a giant." Frequently this hesitancy is what happens to so many of us when our attention gets diverted to the obstacle, the storm, the giant, the sickness, the issue in front of us, and we put all of our focus upon that we are denying God the opportunity to fulfill His Word. We are saying that this giant, this obstacle, this storm, this problem is more potent than the Creator God Himself. But when we change our perception of our circumstances—not ignoring them—recognizing who is ultimately in control, we can again walk by faith in the Lord through anything.
