Attitude

I greet you in Jesus’ precious name! It is Thursday morning, the 5th of March, 2026, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for today. We start in the Book of Joshua 14:8: ”Nevertheless my brethren who went up with me made the heart of the people melt, but I wholly followed the Lord my God.” Then we go to Numbers 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.” Oh folks, how do you feel this morning? Do you feel like a son of God or do you feel like a grasshopper? That’s the question we need to ask ourselves. What is that giant in your life that is holding you back today from being an obedient child of God? You see the devil calls us grasshoppers. He says, you’ll never make it, you’re a failure, you messed up once before or twice or three times and you are done and dusted. No no! Jesus says that we can do all things through Christ who strengthens us. Do you remember that beautiful song? It was written many years ago and some of the lyrics sound like this: When others see a shepherd boy, God may see a king,Even though your life seems filled with ordinary things, In just a moment, He can touch you and everything will change,When others see a shepherd boy, God may see a king.I want to say to you today, God did not create you or me to be grasshoppers. He created us to be the sons of God. “Yes Angus, but you don’t know what I’m going through.” No I don’t, but I know that anything is possible and all things are possible for those who believe. Remember those two words, “But God”. When people say, ”You’ll never make it.” You say, “But God”. When people say, ”You’ve got no education, you’ll never qualify”, “But God”. When people say, ”You will never be healed, you are dying.” You say, “But God”. Now I want to pray for you, and I want to pray that God will turn you and me from grasshoppers into kings, into princes, into princesses.Father, I pray in Jesus name, for my friend who is listening to this program right now. Lord, change our outlook. Change our attitude. We are not grasshoppers, we are sons and daughters of the living God. In Jesus name, amen.God bless you and have a wonderful day.Goodbye.
