In the Book of Numbers you will read,
“In that day there were giants in the land; and we were in our own sight as grasshoppers. And we were in their sight as grasshoppers.”
This does not mean a time in the dim past when man had the stature of giants. Today is the day, the eternal now when conditions round about you have attained the appearance of giants (such as unemployed, the armies of your enemy, your problems and all things that seem to threaten you) those are the giant that make you feel yourself to be a grasshopper.
But, you are told,
“you were first, in your own sight a grasshopper and because of this you were to the giants, a grasshopper.”
In other words, you can only be to others what you are first to yourself. Therefore, to revalue yourself and begin to feel yourself to be the giant, a center of power, is to dwarf these former giants and make of them grasshoppers.
Neville Goddard
