In the Old Testament, God sent His people to the Promised Land. It was a great place to live but it also was inhabited by giants which they would have to face and defeat. We too live in a land of giants which we must face if we are to have the capacity to know God’s presence in our lives—if we are to be united with Him in an ever-deepening relationship. (more…)
