How the enemy views us

 Num 13:33 There we saw the giants the descendants of Anak came from the giants); and we were like grasshoppers in our own sight, and so we were in their sight.”

 

“We were like grasshoppers in our own sight, and so we were in THEIR sight…” They claimed the enemy viewed them as grasshoppers. How could they know? Did they ask them? Or could it be that they assumed the enemy looked at them in the same way they looked at themselves? 

Many times we make the mistake to think that others view us as we view our self. But more important, we think that the enemy views us as we view our self. But when you read the story 40 years later, when God sent in two spies to Jericho, they found that the enemy was trembling for them. 

I believe that if we only could see in us what the enemy sees, we would not say we are as grasshoppers. Because the enemy knows God is with us and in us. His greatest fear is that we will see it ourselves. The main goal of the enemy is to hinder us to see what we are and what we have.
