THE GIANTS of Immense Opposition

Attracted by, grapes; no use, giants!
Giant Difficult - never be able to keep it up.
Giant Doubt - can’t be sure.
Giant Dismal - "giving up".
Giant Delay - later on means never.

THE GRASSHOPPERS of Inadequate Self

In own sight - in their sight.
That was the end of the Majority Report; but Minority.

THE GOD OF INVINCIBLE POWER

Able to save - able to keep.
It is not we, but He.
Over the border, then, into the Promised Land of GOD’s best.
"I’ve never let one go, yet."
