A BIG BED FOR A BIG MAN

The Bible describes many individuals as giants, and it also mentions several giant people groups.

The third chapter of Deuteronomy contains an interesting account of the victory of the Israelites over Sihon, the king of the Amorites, and Og, the king of Bashan. who were Brothers.

 It is here that we learn an intriguing detail about King Og.

The Bible says Og's bedstead was an iron bedstead. 

Nine cubits is its length and four cubits its width.

According to our standard in measurements today, that would be 13.5 feet long and 6 feet wide. (Deuteronomy 3:11).

To put this in some kind of perspective, if stood up on end, the height of this bed would have been exactly twice as tall as a person who is 6 foot 9 inches tall.

Og must have been a pretty big man to require such a bed.

Our size doesn't matter to Jesus.

You may not be very tall right now -- and you may never be very tall, but you can be a giant in God's eyes if you will follow Jesus.

Jesus only wants us to be willing to follow Him and stand tall for Him, size doesn't matter .
