Numbers 21:33,35



Numbers 21:33-35 And they turned and went up by the way of Bashan: and Og the king of Bashan went out against them, he, and all his people, to the battle at Edrei. And the LORD said unto Moses, Fear him not: for I have delivered him into thy hand, and all his people, and his land; and thou shalt do to him as thou didst unto Sihon king of the Amorites, which dwelt at Heshbon. So they smote him, and his sons, and all his people, until there was none left him alive: and they possessed his land. When the spies went into the Promised Land to see what was there, they saw a wonderful land. But this wonderful land was defended by giants. Ten of the spies were afraid, but two of the spies were brave and said that God would help them win. So now, forty years later, Israel was ready to go in to the land. Og, king of Bashan, was one of those giants that had to be defeated. Not only were these giants powerful, but like Goliath, they were wicked. They hated God and God’s people and mocked both of them. And it was time for justice. The wicked were going to be judged and the righteous were going to win. God was going to show everyone that He was had given the Promised Land to the Children of Israel. God had promised Israel that He would be with them and that He would fight for them. God defeated wicked King Og of Bashan and honored Joshua for his faith and obedience. Are there some giants in your life that you need to face? How about the giant of fear? What about the giant of secret sin? Do you face the giant of anger? What about the giant of evil thoughts? There are many giants that you may face, but never forget that God can defeat each one of them. Always remember that God is greater than your giants! Trust God and let Him fight your battles!
