We all face challenges, but it’s not the size of the problem that’s important, it’s our perception of the problem; it’s how big or small we make it in our minds. When Moses sent twelve men to spy out the Promised Land, ten came back and said, “We’ll never defeat them. There are giants in the land.” But the two other spies, Joshua and Caleb, came back with a different report. They said, “Yes the people are big, but our God is bigger. We are well able to take the land. Let us go.” Both groups saw the same giants and the same situation; the only difference was their perspective. One group focused on the size of their God, the other group focused on the size of their enemy. Out of the two million people camped next door to the Promised Land, only two made it in, Joshua and Caleb. Could it all be that your perspective is keeping you out of your promised land? If you see your challenges as impossible and you tell yourself, “I’ll never get out of debt and I’ll never overcome this sickness, and I’ll never accomplish my dreams,” then just like them, your wrong perspective can keep you from becoming all God’s created you to be. What you focus on, you magnify. If you stay focused on your problem or what you don’t have and how it will never work out, all you’re doing is making it bigger than it really is. When you magnify something you don’t change the size of an object; you only change your perception of it.
