Deuteronomy 8-11: Are you facing something that just seems to be giant in your life? Maybe you feel like you will never be able to defeat it. If you feel this way you are in good company. People all through out the Bible faced things that in their own strength they could not beat.

Deuteronomy 9:1″Hear, O Israel: you are to cross over the Jordan today, to go in to dispossess nations greater and mightier than you, cities great and fortified up to heaven, 2a people great and tall, the sons of the Anakim, whom you know, and of whom you have heard it said, ‘Who can stand before the sons of Anak?’ 3Know therefore today that he who goes over before you as a consuming fire is the Lord your God. He will destroy them and subdue them before you. So you shall drive them out and make them perish quickly, as the Lord has promised you.”

If you are facing your own giants know that the answer for you is the same as for Israel. Trust God. Give your battle to Him and then do as He says to do. He is much bigger than anything you face, and as you give your whole heart to Him and allow Him to have control He will go before you and fight the battle with and for you. In your own power you probably will fail, but you are not fighting in your own strength when God is your leader. He has a great track record. Check out the many stories in the Bible of leaders who trusted and obeyed. You will be challenged and encouraged.
