At times in life we have the giant that crosses our path. Some of these giants are physical, but often they are our own mental, emotional, or spiritual giants. We all have giants. What are the giants in your life? God's inspired word provides us with the tools and basic building blocks we need to face and battle the giants in our lives. In the book of Numbers, we have the account of the 12 spies from Israel who explored the Promised Land. Caleb personally saw and wanted to go up against the giants of the Promised Land. But it would take him 45 years before he would get the opportunity to face these giants. But when the time came, face them he did!
