| Average man on left, Anak giant on right |
But the others said, "We can't attack those people; they're way stronger than we are." They spread scary rumors among the People of Israel. They said, "We scouted out the land from one end to the other - it's a land that swallows people whole. Everybody we saw was huge. Why, we even saw the Nephilim giants (the Anak giants come from the Nephilim). Alongside them we felt like grasshoppers. And they looked down on us as if we were grasshoppers." ~Numbers 13:31-33 (MSG)
The following chapter in Numbers show God's clear anger at the people for not trusting Him, or believing He was bigger than the giants they faced. He clearly had a plan for providing the people with a land that "flows with milk and honey." They messed up by looking at the giants, and not looking at God.
How many times do we find ourselves paralyzed by the "giants" in our life? If we stare at our looming problems that are the giants in our lives, we lose sight of God. God is the same today as He was to the people of Israel all those years in the desert. He has a plan and a purpose. Don't lose sight of Him.
God's love is meteoric,
His loyalty astronomic,
His purpose titanic,
His verdicts oceanic.
Yet in His largeness
Nothing gets lost;
Not a man, not a mouse,
slips through the cracks.
~Psalm 36:5-6 (MSG)
I also accept the teaching of the Nephilim giants that came from the fallen angels, called the sons of God. And yes today, many times our giants look big to us. But ... You cannot worry and be fearful about something if you get in the presence of God. If you bring your fear into His presence and see Him as He is ... you will see how big our God is and how little our imagined fears are. You can't worry about what you were worrying about when you see that God is bigger than your fears.
