“And there we saw the giants, the sons of Anak, which come out of the giants: and we were in our own sight as grasshoppers, and so were in their own sight” (Numbers 13:33)
As Christians, our perception and response to the counsel, instructions and admonitions given to us in God’s Word is very important. To win in life, you must always respond in faith to the Word; this is living in the arena of faith, where the only thing that counts is what God has said.
Caleb and Joshua who were sent by Moses to spy out the land did not deny the fact that there were giants in the land God promised to the children of Israel, but they were only moved by what God had said. Their response when asked to describe the land was based on faith in the Word of God. While theirs was a leap on the Word, the other ten spies gave a faithless response – an evil report.
Never allow the things you perceive with your physical senses – what you see, hear or feel, determine the circumstances of your existence. The Bible says, “while we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal” (2 Corinthians 4:18).
Let your gaze be fixed on God’s eternal and infallible Word and maintain the faith-response all the time.
