I was forty years old when Moses, YAHWEH’s servant, sent me from Kadesh Barnea to spy out the land of Canaan, and I brought back an honest and accurate report. I have been faithful and obedient to YAHWEH, my God. But my fellow spies who went with me only discouraged the people and made their hearts shrink back with fear. On that day, Moses made an oath and promised me, ‘Every part of the land your feet tread upon shall be an inheritance for you and your descendants forever because you were loyal to YAHWEH, my God.’ “So here I am. It’s been forty-five years since YAHWEH made this promise to Moses, when Israel journeyed through the wilderness. YAHWEH has preserved me, an eighty-five-year-old man, to this day. I’m still as strong today as on that day when Moses sent me out! I’m just as fit to go out to battle now as I was then. Now give me the hill country that YAHWEH promised me on that day. You yourself were there and heard the report that the Anakim lived there in strong and fortified cities. I know that with the power of YAHWEH helping me, I will drive them out, just as YAHWEH said!” Joshua spoke God’s blessing over Caleb son of Jephunneh and gave him Hebron as his inheritance. So Hebron has belonged to Caleb son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite ever since because he passionately followed YAHWEH, the God of Israel.

This plan takes a look at the life of Caleb, from Shadow of the Mountain author Cliff Graham.
The Bible compares the Christian life to a race in Hebrews 12:1. Unfortunately, many people approach it as if it were a sprint, in which a quick start counts, or a middle-distance race to run smoothly. The real comparison is with a marathon, where various things and people are trying to slow us down or stop us. We must approach the race with the right mindset and with the knowledge that God provides us with the means to go all the way. What a tragedy it would be to abandon the race when victory is certain!
