“Only rebel not ye against the Lord, neither fear the people of the land, for they are bread for us.” (KJV)
When the Israelites were headed into the Promised Land, there were some viscous giants called Anakim. And when the twelve spies went to spy out the land, ten came back saying, “The land is full of milk and honey, corn and wine, oil and pomegranates, figs and grapes. But, hey, we can’t take this land—there are giants in it!” But two of the spies said, “Don’t fear the people of the land, for they are bread for us.”
Bread, like your toast this morning. “Their defense is departed from them, and the Lord is with us; fear them not.” Why do you eat bread? For strength. For nourishment. Bread gives energy. Bread is the staff of life. What was God saying? These things that look like problems? They are your food. “Anakim—the breakfast of champions.” It’s when you feed on these problems that you grow. In the storm you’re going to grow and become more and more like the Lord Jesus Christ.
