The Giants in the land

Are there giants in your life? Are there problems that seem too big to tackle? Let’s look at a bible story to see how they dealt with the giants in the land.

2Samuel 21:15 Moreover the Philistines had yet war again with Israel; and David went down, and his servants with him, and fought against the Philistines: and David waxed faint.

2Samuel 21:16 And Ishbibenob, which was of the sons of the giant, the weight of whose spear weighed three hundred shekels of brass in weight, he being girded with a new sword, thought to have slain David.


2Samuel 21:17 But Abishai the son of Zeruiah succoured him, and smote the Philistine, and killed him. Then the men of David sware unto him, saying, Thou shalt go no more out with us to battle, that thou quench not the light of Israel.

2Samuel 21:18 And it came to pass after this, that there was again a battle with the Philistines at Gob: then Sibbechai the Hushathite slew Saph, which was of the sons of the giant.

2Samuel 21:19 And there was again a battle in Gob with the Philistines, where Elhanan the son of Jaareoregim, a Bethlehemite, slew the brother of Goliath the Gittite, the staff of whose spear was like a weaver's beam.

2Samuel 21:20 And there was yet a battle in Gath, where was a man of great stature, that had on every hand six fingers, and on every foot six toes, four and twenty in number; and he also was born to the giant.

2Samuel 21:21 And when he defied Israel, Jonathan the son of Shimea the brother of David slew him.

2Samuel 21:22 These four were born to the giant in Gath, and fell by the hand of David, and by the hand of his servants.

Pretty interesting story, what is happening is the children of Israel are going to war with the Philistines, but there is a problem there are giants in the Land, but not only one but four. David was the giant killer, he had taken on Goliath when he was just a young man, now he was much older and he was tired from battle. But instead of giving up, his men took charge and took out the giants; all four of them, the interesting thing about this is that these men were not the mighty men of Israel or even the elite they were just every day people that had the courage to stand up.

That is the same way you will defeat the giant problems in your life by just having the courage to stand up and just trust God. So next time you have a problem in your life that seems too big to handle just trust God and have the courage to face it head on.
