Deuteronomy 9:2–3
“The people are strong and tall, the descendants of the Anakim. You know about them and you have heard it said about them, ‘Who can stand up to the sons of Anak?’ But understand that today the LORD your God will cross over ahead of you as a consuming fire; He will devastate and subdue them before you. You will drive them out and destroy them swiftly, as the LORD has told you” (HCSB).
What are you fears? Who are the giants you face? Don’t be afraid of them, for the Lord is with you. His Holy Spirit lives in you.
“You are from God, little children, and you have conquered them, because the One who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world” (1 John 4:4, HCSB).
He who dwells within you is more than a match for anything you encounter today. The devil will tell you that you cannot stand against temptation today. He will tell you that you cannot stand against that habit. He will tell you that you cannot stand against that antagonist you comes against you. But remember what Jesus said about the devil: “There is not truth in him… he is a liar and the father of lies” (John 8:44).
You can stand! You can win! Paul said we are “more than conquerors” (Romans 8:37). You see, everything points to victory in your life.
What are the giants you face today? The Lord will go before you. His Holy Spirit lives inside of you. His glory will follow you. You are no match for them by yourself, but you are not by yourself. The Lord will give you victory!
