Tuesday – Pentateuch

Reading – Deuteronomy 3-4

Highlight Verse:

“(King Og of Bashan was the last survivor of the giant Rephaites. His bed was made of iron and was more than thirteen feet long and six feet wide. It can still be seen in the Ammonite city of Rabbah.)”
‭‭Deuteronomy‬ ‭3‬:‭11‬ ‭NLT‬‬

This is a little side note in Israel’s history.

But it has a big message.

Israel was a small nation of average sized people with no homeland yet.

If the people of Bashan were related to King Og, they were a formidable enemy.

King Og was literally a giant.

And Israel wiped them out, completely.

Mind you, it wasn’t a fair fight.

They had God on their side.

You may not be facing an army of literal giants but sometimes our challenges can feel that way.

If it is a battle that God wants you in, it won’t be a fair fight.

It may still be a fight. The effort required of you may seem enormous.

But if you follow God’s leading faithfully, the battle is as good as won!

What battles are you facing today?
Have you checked with God to see if they are battles He wants you in. (Check yesterday’s post for help with hearing from Him.)
Are you willing to put in the effort to do your part?
