There is something powerful I noticed during my Bible study this morning while reading the story of Joshua and Caleb. When Moses sent twelve men to spy the land of Canaan, they all saw the same thing. They saw the same cities, the same land, and the same giants — the sons of Anak. But when they returned, their reports were completely different. Ten of the spies came back with fear. They said the cities were fortified, the people were strong, and the giants were too powerful. They concluded that the land could not be taken. But Caleb and Joshua had a different confession. They did not deny the presence of the giants. They saw them too. But their focus was not on the giants — their focus was on God. They remembered what God had already done. They remembered how God delivered them from Pharaoh in Egypt. They remembered how the Red Sea opened before them. They remembered how God provided food in the wilderness. So instead of spreading fear, they spoke faith. They said: “We are well able to go up and take the land.” This story reveals something very important for us as believers today: Two people can see the same problem but respond with completely different faith. Many believers today are surrounded by giants. Some people are facing the giant of rent and financial pressure. Some are battling the giant of sickness. Some are facing the giant of unemployment. Some are struggling with depression, fear, or addiction. And sometimes these giants can make people feel like going back to Egypt. The children of Israel forgot how God fought for them. Because of fear, they even said it would have been better to return to Egypt — the same place where they were slaves. That is what fear does. Fear makes people forget God’s past faithfulness. Sometimes rent pressure can make someone return to compromise. Sometimes sickness can make someone lose faith in God. Sometimes lack of employment can make someone return to sin or begin to doubt God. But today I want to remind someone reading this: Do not take your eyes off God because of the giants. The size of the giant does not determine the outcome — the power of God does. If God delivered you before, He can deliver you again. If God opened a door before, He can open another one. If God protected you yesterday, He can protect you today. What matters is your confession and where your eyes are fixed. Caleb and Joshua did not allow the giants to control their faith. They chose to trust God even when the situation looked impossible. And that should be our mindset as believers. No matter what you are facing right now — no matter how big the problem looks — no matter how impossible the situation seems — Do not allow the problem to become bigger than God in your mind. Keep your eyes on Him. Because the same God who fought for Israel is still fighting for His people today. And when God fights for you, no giant can stand. Stay in faith. Stay in prayer. Stay in obedience. Your victory is not determined by the giants in front of you — it is determined by the God who goes before you. 🙏🔥

@theBattleAXE Was that bird a small golden eagle?🦅 🤦‍♀️

Personally, I had accepted defeat earlier in the day when a small bird found its way into my house and pooped on my bed.
