OVERCOMING THE GRASSHOPPER MENTALITY"...WE FELT LIKE GRASSHOPPERS NEXT TO THEM..." NUMBERS 13:33 NLTWhen you come up against a giant, either your faith will cause you to soar or your fear will cause you to sink. The Israelites died 21 miles from the Promised Land, walking around the desert in circles. Why? Because they let their fear get the better of them: 'We even saw giants there... We felt like grasshoppers next to them.' If you're to see (and seize) what God's promised you, you'll have to conquer your giants. Now, you have the power to, but do you have the guts to? Joshua and Caleb looked upwards with the eyes of faith, even when everyone else started to look down and get depressed 'The whole congregation...said..."Would to God that we had died...in the land of Egypt..."' (Exodus 16:2-3 KJV). These guys were on a serious downer! This is someone with a 'grasshopper mentality': 1) They constantly talk about life's injustices; about how they've been mistreated and misunderstood. To them Paul answers, '...endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ' (2 Timothy 2:3 KJV). 2) They make excuses for not conquering in life. Sometimes they even put others down because they are stepping out in faith. To them Paul writes, '...in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us' (Romans 8:37 NIV). 3) They complain about what they don't have instead of focusing on what they do. To them Peter writes, 'His divine power has given us everything we need for life and godliness through our knowledge of him who called us...' (2 Peter 1:3 NIV). Sound like anyone you know (including yourself)? Get to know God better. That's how to move from a grasshopper mentality to a giant killer mentality!
