Learning to be Caleb and not grasshopper :)
Hey guys,
Thanks God that we always have someone who we can model after and stand strong throughout our struggles.
Caleb indeed displayed 2 great attitudes that we should learn;
(1) Caleb has faith that sees beyond the challenges
- In life we have many GIANTS that seems to outnumbered us; many a time our response
would be rather negative; as a result we complaint and "grasshopper" thoughts and voices
appear.
- However, Caleb display a different attitudes that we can learn on; firstly he was not beaten
down by the sheer size of the giants in the land; instead he quieted the people who were
mumuring and complaining; and CHALLENGE them to GO and TAKE posession of the land.
Not onlt that, he trusted His Lord that He will lead him to conquer the giants and posses the
land.
(2) Caleb has the courage to stand alone with God
- In life when struggles like exam, disappointments, rejection and even parental objection may
cause us to lose heart and timid in facing it.
- Nevertheless, Caleb display a great level of courage to stand with God even people may
opposed him; and firmly desire to do the will of God. Not only that, he also motivate the people
to go up and possess the land that God has promised.
Today, God still has great promises for each of us; but what is our attitude today? Are we like caleb or more like a grasshopper? Whatever it may be, check your heart and response to the following question:
(A) Between these two attitudes that Caleb possess; which is God challenging you to learn and
build into your life?
(B) For each attitudes above, share one practical situation you are facing that yu need to build in
order to be different in overcoming your giants in your life.

I think that i need to have faith that see beyond the changelle. As i dun want to listen to grasshoppers voices.
In my school i want to reach out to them but it is very diffcult as most of them dun really like going to church when asked them about it.Sometimes, my other friends will tell the person i reaching out to saying not dun go for the services as sure boring and tell them to stay at home to play computer games.
Hi Darren,
Life is full of challenges that goes beyond our control. However, I believe as you cont to honor God,He will lead you through.
Darren, do not feel guilty or disappointed of not able to reach out to them now; remember caleb he has the faith to see the impossible.
These days are the end ages, no doubts people are indulge with more pleasures. Hence this is a pts you muz be aware. Ask God to help you and give you funny ways and wisdom in reaching them.
Rememeber as you share the gospel with them you are alrady planting the seed; and God will be one to cause it to grow.
Be strong like Caleb, believe in God for breakthrough. :)
