Faith and Fear

Let's look at two examples in Scripture where faith conquered fear.

• David and Goliath - In the account of David and Goliath, despite David's small size and Goliath's large size, David's God was even bigger than the giant. Faith won. David triumphed over the giant, saving his nation. (1 Samuel 17)

• 12 spies: In trhe account of the 12 spies that  Moses sent out to survey the land God had given them, only 2 had faith in God's promise. The rest saw the giants in the land and said, "We are not able!" (See October 22nd blog entry for more on this text) Unlike David, the giants in the land seemed to the spies, bigger than their God. (Numbers 13)

Fear and unbelief elevate the obstacles over God: the giants become bigger than our Lord . When we walk in faith, like David, our God is bigger than our giants. Which will you choose today?
