ConsiderCaleb

Joshua 14.6-15,CB OT p. 352

But my servant Caleb, because he has a different spirit and has followed me fully, I will bring into the land into which he went, and his descendants shall possess it.

(Numbers 14:24, CB OT p. 227)

I wholly followed Jehovah my

God.

Jehovah has kept me alive, just as

He said

I am this day 85 years old

I am still as strong today as I was in the day that

Moses sent me

my strength now is as my strength was then, for war and

for going and coming

So now give me this hill country of which Jehovah

spoke on that day

for you heard on that day how the Anakim

were there, with great fortified cities

It may be that Jehovah will be with me, and I

shall drive them out just as Jehovah said.

So we do no lose heart. Though our outer self is wasting away, our inner self is being renewed day by day.

(2 Corinthians 4.16, CB NT p. 316)

Synopsis: Although we don’t read much about Caleb in the book of Joshua, he will remind you of the joy of serving the Lord. Caleb. Caleb received his inheritance because he was confident in God, committed to God and courageous for God. Paul demonstrates that we can have our inheritance through confidence, commitment and being courageous.
