Identity Crisis?

1 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 2 “Send men to spy out the land of Canaan, which I am giving to the children of Israel;
31 But the men who had gone up with him said, “We are not able to go up against the people, for they are stronger than we.” 32 And they gave the children of Israel a bad report of the land which they had spied out, saying, “The land through which we have gone as spies is a land that devours its inhabitants, and all the people whom we saw in it are men of great stature. 33 There we saw the giants[d] (the descendants of Anak came from the giants); and we were like grasshoppers in our own sight, and so we were in their sight.”
Numbers 13:1,31-33 (NKJV)

The Almighty God had a 'done deal' for the children of Israel. The Land was already packaged for them, only waiting to be delivered. Prior to their possessing the land, God wanted them to get a glimpse of that which has been set aside for them. Unfortunately there was a crisis of identity with some of the men that were selected to spy this land. They failed to see themselves as God saw them... How unfortunate!! They exhibited a grasshopper mentality, a stunted and faithless stature and perspective of themselves.

If God says it, then He will do it. If He declares anything about you, it is a done deal, ours is just to believe His word and declarations. We must know who we are in Him and operate in such mindset at all times.
