Devotions on F.I.R.E. Year Oneنموونە

Caleb the son of Jephunneh, the Kenizzite, and Joshua the son of Nun, for they have wholly followed the LORD (Numbers 32:12).

How committed are you to following Jesus?

The rich young ruler comes to Jesus seeking eternal life. He asks, “Good Teacher, what shall I do that I may inherit eternal life?” (Mark 10:17). Erroneously, he claims to have kept all the commandments. Jesus exposes his violation of the tenth commandment (covetousness) by telling him to sell everything and follow Him (Mark 10:21). His departure shows his unsaved condition. Similarly, God calls Israel to exhibit faith in Him by entering Canaan. Moses records, “Surely none of the men who came up from Egypt, from twenty years old and above, shall see the land of which I swore to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, because they have not wholly followed Me” (Numbers 32:11). God is looking for people of faith like Caleb and Joshua.

Employment Point: Completely follow Jesus to experience His promises to you.
