Numbers 13:33
“There we saw the Nephilim, the descendants of Anak. We seemed like grasshoppers in our own eyes, and we must have seemed the same to them.”
Fear has a way of shrinking the soul. In this moment, Israel looked at giants and forgot their God. I love the phrase in our own eyes. The spies were defeated before a battle ever began. Their fear shaped their vision. Giants did not change. God did not change. Only their perspective did. We still do this. We stare at diagnoses, bills, regrets, or age and decide we are small. But heaven never calls God’s people grasshoppers. Faith lifts the chin. Trust straightens the back. When we see ourselves through God’s promise, giants lose their power and fear fades away.
I’m Lonnie Davis, and these are thoughts worth thinking.
Suggested prayer:
Lord help me see myself through Your promises not my fears and walk forward with courage trust and hope daily.
