Faith Confessions

 Scripture:

“So give me the hill country that the Lord promised me. You will remember that as scouts we found the descendants of Anak living there in great, walled towns. But if the Lord is with me, I will drive them out of the land, just as the Lord said.”” ‭‭Joshua‬ ‭14‬:‭12‬ ‭NLT‬‬

Observation:

Caleb was now eight-five years old. He had been into the Promised Land forty-five years earlier and saw the land. At eighty-five, he came to Joshua asking for the hill country the Lord promised him forty-five year earlier. There were giants in that area, but his response at eighty-five was that if the Lord was with him, they would drive the giants out of the land, just like the Lord said. He was standing on the word of the Lord forty-five years later with even greater faith.

Application:

I want to have the faith of Caleb as I get older. I want the faith to accomplish great things for God as I grow older. I don’t want to settle in and just take whatever is coming to me. I want to accomplish more in my latter years than in my former years. I want to be taking mountains full of giants in my old age, not settling down for a long winter’s nap.

Prayer:

Father, increase my faith! Help me to never give up Your promises to me. Help me to stand in faith and believe You until Your word comes to pass. Let me accomplish everything You have prepared for me. Let me walk in step with Your Spirit that I may be empowered to excel in everything I do. Let my life bring You glory and honor as I surrender to You. Your Kingdom come and Your will be done in my life, my family, my church, and my community.

Yours Forever,

Jeff
