Scale of 1 to 10

Numbers 13:30 "But Caleb tried to quiet the people as they stood before Moses. “Let’s go at once to take the land,” he said. “We can certainly conquer it!”

This week we've been praying and thinking about how we can conquer the giants in our lives. I have sent out many emails with scriptures to encourage fellow believers. You have prayed for each other...and for people that you don't even know to defeat those extreme challenges.

How much do you believe it is REALLY going to happen?

I mean..c'mon...once this week is over...we'll all go right back to worrying and fretting about those challenges in our lives that seem impossible. Right back to wondering if God it truly able to handle the list that we made on Monday.

You don't have to go back.

Let's look at today's verse...look at what Caleb said... "We can certainly conquer it!" What gave Caleb his confidence? How could he be so sure that they wouldn't be crushed by the giants of the land? It was his faith. Caleb believed with all of his heart that God would protect him from whatever insurmountable struggles he might face...

How about you? On a scale of 1-10, what is your level of confidence that God will be able to defeat those giants in your life? Maybe this verse will help...

Ephesians 3:20
" Now all glory to God, who is able, through his mighty power at work within us, to accomplish infinitely more than we might ask or think."

God CAN do it. God WANTS to do it. God WILL do it...all in His time... Know that I have been praying for you this week as you stare those giants down. Have confidence in your Creator.... He is much bigger than any giant.

See you tomorrow for prayer Friday,
Pastor Brian
