Jos 14:6,7, 8 … And Caleb… said to him… I WAS FORTY YEARS OLD when Moses… sent me from Kadesh Barnea to spy out the land,… NEVERTHELESS MY BRETHREN WHO WENT UP WITH ME MADE THE HEART OF THE PEOPLE MELT, BUT I WHOLLY FOLLOWED THE LORD MY GOD.
Now Caleb was eighty years old and still more than willing to do the will of GOD!
Jos 14:11, As yet I am as strong this day as on the day that Moses sent me; just as my strength was then, so now is my strength for war, both for going out and for coming in.
Psa 103:5, WHO SATISFIES YOUR MOUTH WITH GOOD THINGS, SO THAT YOUR YOUTH IS RENEWED LIKE THE EAGLE’S.
Jos 14:12, … give me this mountain of which the LORD spoke in that day; FOR YOU HEARD IN THAT DAY HOW THE ANAKIM WERE THERE, and that the cities were great and fortified. IT MAY BE THAT THE LORD WILL BE WITH ME, AND I SHALL BE ABLE TO DRIVE THEM OUT AS THE LORD SAID.”
THE STRENGHT OF CALEB CAME FROM THE LORD! HE HAS SEEN THE LORD’S WORK; THE MIRACLES IN THE WILDERNESS, THE PARTING OF THE RED SEE AND THE JORDAN! HOW THE LORD FEED ISRAEL DAILY FOR 40 YEARS! HIS FAITH WAS WHOLLY ON THE LORD! PUT YOUR FAITH WHERE IT COUNTS ON GOD AND HIS PROMISES! TRUST IN HIM!
