Thinking Big

Ever notice how some people when they walk into the room it lights up, just get that respect and admiration and others don’t? They just seem to have it altogether? Well I think that it’s all in how we see ourselves. If we think of ourselves as poor little me’s then that is exactly what everyone else sees. Want to be seen as someone with a game plan and as a person of action and credibility, then get the plan and the credentials.

In Numbers 32-33 And they spread among the Israelites a bad report about the land they had explored. They said, "The land we explored devours those living in it. All the people we saw there are of great size. 33 We saw the Nephilim there (the descendants of Anak come from the Nephilim). We seemed like grasshoppers in our own eyes, and we looked the same to them." The Bible clearly showed us what happens when we don’t see ourselves as we should. The fear creeps in and paralyses us.

My dog General weighs in and at a top weight of 2lb 6oz but he thinks he’s a heavyweight champion. He take on all comers when challenged, he doesn’t pay attention to size and let it get in his way, in his mind he’s a champion and a big one at that. If we would think like the “Little General” (as he is affectionately known) we would be able to accomplish far more than we do. Strangers often see us as we see ourselves.
