It is very common for us Christians to veer off in our walk with the Lord when faced with situations. Some of us tend to just stop everything we are doing for God while others will give up altogether. There are many levels of faith given to each one but one faith In God. When God looks at you and me, He sees giants or more so conquorers in through His son Jesus. I have on numerous occassions looked at what I was facing and instantly without even thinking twice conclude that it wasso big to find a way out of it. I know many out there who are facing situations and it seems as you appear to be like a grasshopper in it midst.
Allow me at this point to encourage you. God will never give up on you! But God will NEVER override our will either. the scriptures are clear that God has given us authority and that we have victory over the enemy. DO NOT let situations cause you to think that you are a grasshopper. We need to get rid of the grasshopper mentality and take our place in God! For as long as we maintain the grasshopper position, we will only experience defeat. The devil would have you believe that your situation is to big for God to handle. That is a LIE from the pits of Hell!! All power belongs to God
After Moses led the Israelites out of Egyptian slavery, they were led by God to the edge of Canaan - the land promised to Abraham. God instructed Moses to send twelve men to explore the land; "See what the land is like and whether the people who live there are strong or weak, few or many" (Numbers 13:18).
The twelve "spies" traveled through the entire length of Canaan and brought back their report. All twelve traveled the same path, but Joshua and Caleb saw the land and its inhabitants through the promises of God: "The land we passed through and explored is exceedingly good. If the Lord is pleased with us, He will lead us into that land" (Numbers 14:7-8). The other ten saw great danger and an enemy who was too big to be defeated.
Numbers 13:31-33
"We can't attack those people; they are stronger than we are. The land we explored devours those living in it. All the people we saw there are of great size. We seemed like grasshoppers in our own eyes, and we looked the same to them."
The promised land was truly a land flowing with milk and honey, but it was also a land with many enemies. Joshua and Caleb saw the same enemy as the other ten, but they had a much clearer view and understanding of God. They knew if God was on their side, the size and strength of the enemy didn't matter - God would provide the victory.
We often face the same fears as the other ten. God wants us to enter into His promised land, take possession, and reside there for the rest of our days; but there are often enemies which fill us with fear and make us feel small and insignificant. Enemies may come in the form of addictions, entertainment choices, finances, or worldly priorities. We may even face more tangible enemies who threaten to cause us physical or emotional pain. All these enemies keep us out of the promised land; all appear to be undefeatable giants; but with God on our side, ALL can be overcome!
Without a clear understanding of who we are in Christ, every enemy appears to tower over us; "apart from Me you can do nothing" (John 15:5). But when we place our trust in God and allow Him to work through us, our posture before the enemy is greatly strengthened; "In all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us" (Romans 8:37).
God's land of promise - the contentment of His presence - is waiting for us to enter in and take possession. God did not create us to be fearful insects, but an image of the Most High! Let's know the One who gives us strength and victory in battle. Let's better understand that when God leads, we are much more than grasshoppers!
There is no situation too big for God! All power belongs to Him! Let us boldly without fear face the giants remembering that God is on our side.
THIS IS OUR GOD!!
Have a blessed day!!
