In What Do You Trust?
Many today make the same mistake made
by Jabin who placed his trust in his league of nations that he
believed would be able to save him from his enemies. In the
same chapter of Joshua we read of another mistake in placing
one’s trust in the wrong thing. In Joshua 11:21-23 we learn
that the Anakim were a people who trusted in their own physi-
cal strength. The text tells us, “And at that time Joshua came
and cut off the Anakim from the mountains: from Hebron,
from Debir, from Anab, from all the mountains of Judah, and
from all the mountains of Israel; Joshua utterly destroyed them
with their cities. 22 None of the Anakim were left in the land
of the children of Israel; they remained only in Gaza, in Gath,
and in Ashdod. 23 So Joshua took the whole land, according to
all that the LORD had said to Moses; and Joshua gave it as an
inheritance to Israel according to their divisions by their tribes.
Then the land rested from war.”
The Anakim, or “sons of Anak” were the giants in the land.
When the Israelites first came to the land and sent out the
twelve spies, they were told that these men were giants and
could not be defeated. “And they gave the children of Israel a
bad report of the land which they had spied out, saying, "The
land through which we have gone as spies is a land that de-
vours its inhabitants, and all the people whom we saw in it are
men of great stature. 33 "There we saw the giants (the descen-
dants of Anak came from the giants); and we were like grass-
hoppers in our own sight, and so we were in their sight” (Num.
13:32, 33).
Their stature was something that produced fear in those
they confronted them. Goliath of Gath was probably one of the
Anakim. He was a giant between 9’ 9” and 11 feet tall. When
he came out to challenge the armies of Israel, the armies of
Israel fled. It was the size and the physical strength of Goliath
that cause Israel to be afraid and to flee and that caused Goli-
ath to believe that he could defeat anyone that Israel put for-
ward. Goliath’s physical strength could not save himself nor
could the strength of all the Anakim save them! Goliath
boasted of what he would do to David but his physical advan-
tage was not sufficient for a victory. David needed only one
stone in his sling to take Goliath down and then using Goli-
ath’s own sword, David decapitated him. Likewise the Anakim
as a people were not able to defeat Israel and keep their land.
Caleb, as an eighty- five year old man asked for the land where
the Anakim were and with the help of God he defeated them
and took that land for his own possession.
Likewise the strongest among us spiritually speaking can-
not save themselves. – “But we are all like an unclean thing,
And all our righteousness are like filthy rags; We all fade as a
leaf, And our iniquities, like the wind, Have taken us
away” (Isa. 64:6). Those that depend upon their goodness are
lost for as Paul said, “all have sinned, and come short of the
glory of God” (Rom. 3:23), and our sin has brought spiritual
death upon us (Rom. 5:12). The only ones that are saved are
those who depend upon another – Jesus the Christ. They are
the ones who by faith that obeys have righteousness imputed to
them as James says of Abraham who “believed God, and it
was accounted to him for righteousness. And he was called the
friend of God” (James 2:23). -to be continued
