Grasshoppers

Guess what we are going to talk about today?!?  GRASSHOPPERS!!!

Does a grasshopper have a head?  Yes.  Do you have a head?  Yes.
Does a grasshopper have a leg?  Yes.  Do you have a leg?  Yes
Are you a grasshopper?  No!!!

Did you know that the Bible has a story about grasshoppers?

People of Israel had been captive for years.  God chose Moses to lead them to the promised land.  He also told Moses to send 12 people ahead...kinda like a scouting report...to the land of Canaan...

When they came back, they reported to Moses that the land was truly a wonderful land, but that the people there were very strong and powerful.  "There is no way we could take the land.  They are giants and we are like grasshoppers compared to them".

Two of the men, Joshua and Caleb, disagreed.  "It is a land flowing with milk and honey and if God is on our side, we can overcome the giants and take the land."

You know, ther eare times in your life that you will come up against some giants.  Other people might even tell you that you're too small to defeat those giants.  But remember this, no matter how big the giants are in your life, with God on your side, you can overcome the giants.  You are not a grasshopper!!

So, I never want to hear you say, "I can't do it."  All things are possible with God!!!!

Dear Father, help us to remember that with You on our side, we can overcome the giants in our life.  Amen.
