Grasshoppers and Giants.

Grasshoppers have a view of the lowest particles on the ground, before they jump of course. Then they briefly see things through the eyes of a four or five foot tall person. But then they fall down again to see just the pepples and grass next to them.

I loved the sermon Bro. Toney preached at NAYC 2011. He asked the question: "Who told the Hebrew spies that they were the size of grasshoppers, anyway?" Joshua and Caleb didn't that is for sure!

Someone put that in their minds. They were normal, healthy sized men; all of them. Of the twelve spies, though, ten listened and believed the report that they were grasshoppers compared to the giants in the promised land they were spying on.

Numbers 13:33 "And there we saw the giants, the sons of Anak, which come of the giants: and we were in our own sight as grasshoppers, and so we were in their sight."

Satan lies to us...he whispers in our consciousness that we are small, powerless and insignificant. It is so true. For so long I thought it was just me that he lied to in that manner. But no, he's been playing that trick on people for thousands of years.

I want to see myself how I really am. I am made in the image of God.
He filled me with His spirit. Our great God lives in us, so he makes us great and big and powerful. We really are .....giants....!

Thanks Bro. Toney for that great thought.
