EXODUS 3:8 " GIANTS IN THE PROMISE"

The Lord promised the children of Israel that they would go into a land that  flowed with milk and honey .  "And I am come down to deliver them out of the hand of the Egyptians , and to bring them up out of that land unto a good land flowing with milk and honey; " (EXODUS 3:8)  The promised land, I believe should be a perfect place , a place God described that flows with milk and honey. Milk can be described as nourishment and honey describes the sweetness of the land. And God said a good land and large, it sounds like the perfect place! But God went on to say that the Canaanites , Hittites, Amorites, that the Perizzites, Hivites and the Jebusites were there.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                       In the land of perfection, that flowed with milk nourishment and honey sweetness, in the promised place, there are GIANTS there. How could the enemy be in the perfect place? How could  opposition be in the perfect place? How could God promise blessings and a curse be there as well? How could there be good and bad existing together? If this is what God promised them , why would they have to fight giants for there promise?  When we receive a word or a promise from the Lord there is always opposition that comes. In one way or another there will be some type of opposition to what God has said. The devil wouldn't be the devil if he didn't oppose God's word, he's done it from the beginning to Adam and Eve.       The important thing to remember is that although the children of Israel were going into the promised land against Giants God was with them, to drive out the inhabitants of that land. When we come into our place of promise , our land that flows with milk and honey , that's the time to elevate our faith for the trials ahead . Even though there were Giants in the promise that did not diminish what God had promised. Israel fought a physical battle, but we fight a spiritual battle, a battle of the mind.                                                                                                                                                        Giants of doubt, failure, discouragement , giants of worry , insecurity and not belonging these are the Giants that we war against today. But we have to do as the children of Israel were commanded , we have to drive them out. So my advice to you is, as you embark upon your promise land whatever it is, to expect problems in your promise. But know God is there to help you drive out the Giants.                                                                                                                                           Maybe we have to drive out Giants , but the problems are part of the promise, except it all and watch God fulfill his purpose in your life. " For all the promises of God in him are yea, and in him Amen, unto the glory of God by us" (2Cor. 1:20).
