Perspective Matters

In the battle of the toughest, will you choose to be the grasshopper? Or will you be the giant?

Grasshopper mentality.

While the 10 others thought that they were like grasshoppers and the people living in Canaan were giants, Joshua and Caleb stood firm on what they believe: the Lord is giving them the Land. 

Num. 14:9 (ESV) "...They have no protection, but the Lord is with us! Don't be afraid of them!" 

These two men knew who they believe in. They trusted the God who commanded them to go and take the land. When the others decided to give up, they were ready to go to the conquest, assured that the presence of the Lord is with them. 

Do you sometimes feel like you are the grasshopper and all these huge circumstances are giants blocking your way to go to the land the Lord is showing you? 

Take time to pray and ask God to help you draw strength from Him. 

But doing that wouldn't be possible if you don't have a loving relationship with God the Father, which starts the moment you believe in Jesus as your Lord and Savior from sins. Believing in Jesus means repenting from your sins and trusting that Jesus died for your sins. When you do that, the Holy Spirit lives in you, and He tells you what to do, including stepping out from the said mentality and defeating this giants, all in and through Him.

Will you believe in Him today?
