I'm Not a Grasshopper - Numbers 13

S - Numbers 13:33 We even saw giants there, the descendants of Anak. Next to them we felt like grasshoppers, and that’s what they thought, too!”
O - The twelve spies returned after looking through the promised land for 40 days and the report was that the land was good but the people living there were strong. In fact, there were giants which made them feel small and bacause of that these giants thought they were small as well.
A - Throughout life there are times that my confidence is not very high and because of that I show this to others and they lose confidence in me as well. However, much like the Israelites should have done by knowing that God was on their side and would give them the strength to overcome these people, I too have God living inside me and He has promised to protect me and bless me. With this knowledge, I should have confidence that is extremely large and this confidence will show to others, no longer making people see this self-concieous person.
P - God, You are good; all the time! I praise you this morning and give you praise and thanks. I welcome you into my heart and ask that you continue to give me strength and courage and to help me also remember that with you no one or nothing can overcome me. I am so thankful that your son came and paid the price so that I could be in your precence and have your Holy Spirit living in me. Help me teach this to my children and wife and model this behavior and attitiude daily. Bless my family and me today.
