”But the men who had gone up with him said, “We are not able to go up against the people, for they are stronger than we.” And they gave the children of Israel a bad report of the land which they had spied out, saying, “The land through which we have gone as spies is a land that devours its inhabitants, and all the people whom we saw in it are men of great stature. There we saw the giants (the descendants of Anak came from the giants); and we were like grasshoppers in our own sight, and so we were in their sight.”“
Numbers 13:31-33 NKJV
I hear this a lot, “our country is in a mess!” Really, people and even confessing Christians are and do act scared.
Are they afraid, have they lost their faith? If and when this happens, difficulties and problems are magnified. They become greater than they are.
Yes, there were giants. Without faith, the giants look bigger than they are. The report compares grasshoppers to giants.
But…Who did they leave out???
GOD!
Let’s put God into the world we live in, the country we inhabit, the state, county, town and neighborhood where we are…
”Commit your way to the Lord, Trust also in Him, And He shall bring it to pass.“
Psalms 37:5 NKJV
