Anytime you venture to do something great, every negative and evil force will rear its ugly head to challenge you in the attainment of your goal.
Don't hate it...LOVE IT.
"Why should I do that"...you ask....
Because never in the history of time has there been a person who has attained greatness, reached their goal, or obtained the promise without opposition.
Opposition is necessary.
So you may feel a little resistance today.
Whether that be inward resistance, outward resistance, or circumstantial resistance... embrace it because it is necessary to obtain the promise.
Im reminded of the children of Israel who FINALLY reached the threshold of the promised land after years of circling around the desert.
12 Spies were sent out into the land and came back reporting it was filled with grapes the size of basketballs, plush land, space and opportunity for everyone....oh and 9- 10 foot giants who ruled the land.
2 reported "WE CAN DO IT" but the other 10 reported "We CAN'T do it...too risky"...
Isn't this scenario like this goal that you're going after?, It has the promise of great things, doors of opportunity for you to live better, look better, feel better, and do better. However, there are HUGE obstacles facing your decision to move forward and naysayers who don't see the vision you see?!
10 of the 12 of the spies reported that they "were like grasshoppers in the giants eyes".
((Umm excuse me Mr. Spy, when did you have time in the midst of your secret mission to secure you a mainstream prime time talk show and interview these giants?! I'm assuming you didn't.))
Though the giants never spoke,I'm sure the fearful spies compared their own insecurities to the size of the giants and calculated all of that into their ability to move forward....
It's a shame huh...yea I know...
But before we scrutinize them too much...lets take a look at ourselves... Because we do it everyday.
We come to a conclusion that the people we don't want to offend will be offended by us stepping out of the "norm" for our goal. We choose to stop short of our promise for the possible negative opinion of people of whom we don't know. And we take our own insecurities and turn up the gain so loud, that we feel everyone else in The room can hear how scared, unsure, and fretful we are!
This is absurd!
Trust me when I say this, most people are so focused on their own giant that they don't have time to worry about yours.
The silent giants in our lives stop is everyday, but you have to ask yourself In This moment..
"Will I let the silent giants, mountains, or opposition stop me from entering this promise I am on the threshold of entering?"
Or are you going to resist the opposition, take a risk, and enter into the promise with a sling shot of hope and a rock of faith and TAKE THE LAND!!!!!?
