ourselves we often get
the wrong perspective
on things. We need to

Take it to the next level
Award the King of the
grasshoppers with a crown of
grass! Then ask:
1. Is being compared to a
grasshopper a good thing or a
put down?
2. Read Numbers 13:33

6. www.CreativeYouthIdeas.com
In this story, the Israelites saw
themselves as grasshoppers. They
saw the Guinness World Record
breaking inhabitants of the land
and in comparison saw
themselves as small little
grasshoppers. Their focus was on
their own limited abilities instead
of God’s great promises. When we
focus on ourselves we often get
the wrong perspective on things.

7. www.CreativeYouthIdeas.com
We need to learn to see things
from God’s perspective. A king
of the grasshoppers may be
insignificant, but the King of
Kings, God with us, can
accomplish anything God
desires. God promised the land
to the Israelites. His promises
never fail. All they needed to do
was trust Him and follow in
obedience. Instead they ran
away in fear.

1. What is it in your life that
you need to trust God for?
2. What promises of God are
applicable to that area of
your life?
3. How can you claim those
promises and walk in
obedience?
When you do, God will replace
fear with victory in your life!
