Newspaper Page TextWeekly Devotional By REV. J. S. BROWN, Paator Pepperton Baptist Church GRASSHOPPER FAITH And there we saw the giants, the sons of Anak, which come of the giants: and we were in our own sight as grasshoppers, and so we were in their sight.” Num bers 13:33. Please observe that these men were the leaders from the tribes of Israel who had been sent to spy out the new land that the Lord was going to give Israel. The real test of their faith had come. The land was before them and God had promised that he would be with them. He had dem onstrated His presence with them all through the wilderness wan derings up to this time. He had demonstrated his persence and concern in various ways—in de liverance across the Red Sea, in leading them as a pillow of fire by night and a cloud by day. Now was the time come to claim the promise, but 10, the faith of Israel’s leaders was not ready to claim it. They reported on all of the good things that the land possessed. It was truly a land After you see your doctor... WMm tOU&a peWcwpnOKy aaora ' j | "t mi LI6HT BULB WONT 60 OUT 11l CT a . AY PHONE I I jacksoKi ga LJrug Lo.

The enemies had to be overcome. Only Caleb and Joshua overcome. Only Cabel and Jeshua had the faith to believe that they could be overcome. The other ten spies saw themselves as grass hoppers unable to carry out the Lord’s command. They felt that God’s enemies were stronger than God’s people. This fear on their part caused the enemy to see them as grasshoppers also accord ing to our text. It must be re membered that these who were the enemies of God’s people were considered the enemies of God in the Old Testament. The tragic note in our text is that these men who were leaders of God’s people and who had the promise of victory from the Lord, feared that God’s enemies were stronger than they, thus their lament, “We were grass hoppers in our own sight, and so we were in their sight.” Is it not deplorable when those who call themselves Christians, witnesses and ambassadors allow the forces of evil to frighten them into feeling themselves as grasshoppers. Is it not sad that those who have the promise of the power of the Holy Spirit are II bring your prescriptio J.S.I frightened into doing nothing or even fleeing from the forces of evil that would corrupt and over > run our society? Many are saying today that we are as grasshoppers in the sight of the giant of Com munism, or the Giant of Secular ism or the Giant of legalized al cohol. Many sit by and say, “Oh, I’m just a little ol’ grasshopper and can’t do anything about it,” and don’t. It is no wonder that we give God’s enemies the im pression that we are only grass hoppers. When we see ourselves as grasshoppers, the enemy will also see us as such. Just remem ber Christian Friend, you are not a grasshopper, you are a member of the King’s army. You can claim the presence of the Lord against the foes of the Lord.
