The Anakites, the giants who terrified Israel into forty years of wilderness wandering, fall like dominoes before Joshua. What caused a generation to shrink back in unbelief becomes “routine work of faith” for those who trusted God’s promises.
This contrast is striking. The same giants, the same impossible odds, but completely different outcomes. The difference wasn’t in the size of the enemy but in the size of their faith. The first generation saw giants and concluded they were too small. Joshua’s generation saw giants and remembered their God was too big.
“There was none of the Anakites left in the land of the people of Israel” (v. 22). Complete victory. Total conquest. Nothing left to terrorize future generations. This is how God works—His victories are thorough and final.
The giants in your life—those insurmountable obstacles, impossible relationships, persistent sins—they’re not too big for God. What looks impossible to you is routine work for Him. The question isn’t whether God can handle your giants; it’s whether you’ll trust Him to do so.
