Taken from The Word for you Today:

"We were like Grasshoppers in our own Sight
When Moses sent 12 spies to check out the Promised Land 10 came back saying "We saw.. giants. and were were like grasshoppers in our own sight. Israel had repeatedly witnessed God's power, why now were they intimidated? It's a perception problem called low self-esteeem , and IT'S HOW THE ENEMY PREVENTS YOU FROM WINNING. The Israelites quickly forgot their Red Sea deliverance and instead remembered Egypt where they'd lived as slaves. Be careful. HARD TIMES MAKE YOU THINK YOU DON'T DESERVE TO BE BLESSED! ANYTIME YOU HAVE SOMETHING OF VALUE, THE ENEMY WILL ATTACK YOU. In the Old Testatment we read: "When the Philipistines heard.. David had been annointed king.. they went up in full force to search for him" (2SA 5:17)

UNTIL YOU CAN CLAIM YOUR RIGHTFUL PLACE IN CHRIST, SATAN WILL TELL YOU THATYOU DESERVE TO BE MISTREATED. SO STEEP YOURSELF IN GOD'S WORD TILL IT BECOMES SUCH A PART OF YOU THAT YOU STOP DOUBTING YOURSELF. GOD MADE YOU IN HIS IMAGE, REDEEMED YOU, INDWELLS YOU, AND THAT MAKES YOU VALUABLE!

A man in the Prairie observed an eagle fatally wounded by gunshot. He writes" With his eyes gleaming.. he slowly turned his head, giving one last.. longing look towards the sky. He'd often swept those starry spaces with his wonderful wings.. the sky was the home of his heart. There he'd displayed his strength a thousand ties.. played with the lightning and raced the wind. Now far from home, the eagle lay dying because..
just once- he forgot and flew to low .. My soul is that eagle.. This isn't it's home. IT MUST NEVER LOSE ITS SKYWARD LOOK!

How true! We must never lose that skyward look. Just remember.. I am learning .. none of us deserve to be mistreated.. We are beautiful, God made me.. he redeemed me.. he indwells in me.. and I AM VALUABLE AND SO ARE ALL OF YOU!
