Giants do Fall Down

Day 361- And the good thing about the day was that I woke up clothed and in my right mind. I woke up to new mercies that are available to me as a believer. For the past 5 days, I have been going to bed around 3:00 and so sleep deprivation caught up with me and I overslept.

I must admit that I was totally off my game all day today and this posting is a reflection of it. Everyone seemed to be out of place today and the South doesn’t even really observe President’s Day. It was hard making the needed connections and hindered me from accomplishing several critical goals. I needed to get out of my house today—space seemed very small. The hardest thing about working from home for a people person like me is that it’s HARD. Going to a friend’s office tomorrow to work and I have two off site meetings - I’m looking forward to it.

This morning my studies focused on seeing Your Promise from God’s perspective. In this season we must not let FEAR win the battle. Fear is a spirit that attaches to our emotions and clouds our thinking process. When the people of Israel decided to move by sight and not faith, the Lord allowed their leaders to go over and view the Promised Land that He had made covenant to give to Abraham’s descendants. They saw the abundance, they saw the richness, but they also saw the warfare. The vision of the warfare in the form of giants caused one generation to reject the promise and postpone the manifestation of the blessings that had been offered.

Today, my giant’s looked more powerful than me. So, I got busy asking God to help me see out of His eyes and to help me with any unbelief. The Israelites actually believed God was capable, but they did not believe they were worthy. They rejected God’s promise and it was 40 years before the window would reopen for them to pass over. Please know that giants do fall down and sometimes you have to go, look and see again.

Didn’t work on my book today so I’m going to turn in early to get myself refreshed and spend a couple of hours writing tomorrow. The thing about holes-is that when you’re in one you have to stop digging.

Shovel down and lights out….until tomorrow.
