Devotional Poem:  Grasshopper Vision

 

They felt like mere grasshoppers, in their sight.

And hadn’t faith enough to go and fight.

They chose, instead, to go the safest way;

And that was to turn back, and run away.

 

That’s not the way that God wants us to be -

Afraid to follow Him to victory.

How very sad, for those who choose to doubt;

And from God’s blessing, find they’ve been left out.
