Why the Promised Land Comes with a Fight
You can almost see it ahead. The Promised Land. The land flowing with milk and honey (Exodus 3:8). A land of fruitfulness and prosperity. A place with valleys and hills that drink rain from heaven and are richly watered by God (Deuteronomy 8:7-10). It's in full bloom, vibrant with beauty and color.
So, you make your way across the Jordan River. Your feet finally step onto the rich, life-giving soil. You look up, and there you see...giants. Wait, God, this is what promise looks like?
