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. 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.
Numbers 13:32-33
New International Version
What are you saying about people or yourself? I think most of us know the story about Israel. Do we think about sometimes how we sound? Are we any different? We can be so negative about things and people. We don’t even understand how we influence so many. If we see ourselves as small then that is all you will ever be. Not only in your eyes but you will think you are in everyone elses eye also. God made you just the way you are and you are perfect in the way He made you. Understand we don’t do everything perfect but we were made perfect. It takes a giant killer to make a giant killer. What you say is what you will be able to believe you can do. Be careful about our speech. Our words have great influence and consequences.
