Scripture:
Joshua 14:14 "Therefore, Hebron became the inheritance of Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite until this day, because he followed the Lord God of Israel fully".
Observation:
When the Promised Land was divided among the tribes of Israel, there was one parcel given to Caleb, who was not one of the twelve sons of Israel. Caleb received and inheritance among the twelve tribes when he personally was a Kenizzite and probably not even from one of the tribes of Israel. He received inheritance he didn't deserve because he followed the Lord God of Israel fully and wanted to take the territory, believing full on that God would give it to them. His faith gave him an inheritance he didn't even deserve.
Application:
God will go out of His way to bless those who are fully committed to Him and who will follow Him completely. He is looking for those who will live by faith and trust Him completely. Just like Caleb, we must fully follow the Lord and believe He is able to do what He says He can do. We must be people who walk by faith and trust God completely.
Prayer:
Father, increase my faith. Help me to follow Your voice every day of my life. Help me to never limit You by my small thinking. Help me to believe You can do anything and that You will honor and bless my obedience. You are the best!
Your Son,
Jeff
