"Now, as you can see, the LORD has kept me alive and well as he promised for all these forty-five years since Moses made this promise—even while Israel wandered in the wilderness. Today I am eighty-five years old."
Joshua 14:10
- Our past experiences of faith can strengthen our current experiences of faith.
"Caleb drew on a strength that was irresistible because he had a faith that never wavered." - Alan Redpath
- Our life’s calling is to serve God because He is the Author and Finisher of our faith.
"It is the coward and the selfish man who are always looking for an easy place, where somebody else will do the work. This man felt that this miraculously prolonged life of his bound him to special service."Â - Alexander MacLaren
- Our age should not be used as an excuse not to bear fruit.
"The drain of the years is amply met by the inflow of his all-sufficient grace. There is no reason why we should decline in usefulness and fruit-bearing with the increase of years; but the reverse." - F.B. Meyer
Our service may slow down, or look different, but should never diminish.
Think of someone you know who hasn’t allowed age to stop their service to God.
Caleb was from the tribe of Judah.
Keep on keeping on until I’m called home.
