DAD'S RAMBLINGS -- WHOLLY FOLLOWING THE LORD

DAD'S RAMBLINGS – WHOLLY FOLLOWING THE LORD

"And Joshua blessed (Caleb) and gave Hebron to Caleb the son of Jephunneh as an inheritance. Hebron therefore became to inheritance of Caleb, the son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite to this day, because he wholly followed the Lord

God of Israel."

I love Caleb. He is a model for me to follow.

Remember that he and Joshua were the only two spied who came back with a good report of faith after spying out the land. Now, 45 years later, he is still serving the Lord with a whole heart.

Eighty five years old, and he has never wavered in his faith. He is as strong as he was forty-five years ago – both physically and spiritually. He still saw mountains to claim. He had not let years dim his vision for what God had for him. All because he "wholly followed the LORD" (vs. 8, vs. 9, and vs. 14).

May that be said of us as senior citizens. God still has things for us to accomplish. We are not put on the shelf just because of our age.

And in chapter 15, we find him still blessing his posterity (15:18-19). Let's set Caleb as a pattern to follow.

Love, Dad
