Devouring fire

Deuteronomy 9:3 amp. "Know therefore this day that the Lord your God is He Who goes over before you as a devouring fire. He will destroy them and bring them down before you; so you shall dispossess them and make them perish quickly, as the Lord has promised you." To receive something, we either have to ask or work for it. There are blessings that come from the Lord, and we receive them because of His Word, His Promises, not because of what we have done, least we boast in ourselves. The Israelite people were afraid to go in and receive the Promise Land the Lord God had given to them. There were giants, mighty men of great stature, and fortified cities, with strong walls, that inhabited the children of Anak, the giants. Today we face many giants, such as depression, anger, loneliness, guilt, doubt, pride, sickness, unforgiveness, fear, the past, and the list goes on. Are you done living with Giants that defeat you? Let's stop complaining, and stand up against the giants. We serve a God that is a Giant over the giants. Trust in the Lord, and He will go before you with a devouring fire that will destroy every giant.  All you have to do is dispossess of them quickly, let them go, and get them out of your way. Believe and it will come to pass. Seek the Lord and ask for guidance and help, for fear is not of God. Give Him Praise.
