Then the people of Judah came to Joshua at Gilgal. And Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite said to him, “You know what the LORD said to Moses the man of God in Kadesh-barnea concerning you and me. I was forty years old when Moses the servant of the LORD sent me from Kadesh-barnea to spy out the land, and I brought him word again as it was in my heart. But my brothers who went up with me made the heart of the people melt; yet I wholly followed the LORD my God.
-Josh 14:6-8 ESV
Warrior;
Caleb, was not willing to settle- are you? However, because Caleb believed God, he was NOW willing to SETTLE the land! After 45 years of walking by Faith, after so many disappointments and setbacks- CALEB still burned; his first love was still aflame. The promises of God did not wane, did not die away; after 45 years of wandering in the wilderness, the PROMISE of God was still in his heart. It was still Caleb’s OBSESSION. He was ready to go into Canaan, He was willing to take his possession and he was ready to SETTLE his land!
Leader, you can be a CALEB or you can be like the majority-the other 10. If your Operating system is SELF or FLESH, then, like the 10- you will be! A FOF (Flesh Operating System) will always believe what your eyes see, what your ears hear and what the changing emotions of the moment tell you…OR…you can believe the PROMISES of God! Conduit, the promises of God are in the WORD of God. When our (OS)operating system is GOD centered, GOD focused and GOD intentional- it changes the report! Faith comes by hearing- hearing the WORD of GOD! Today, know God’s report and BELIEVE GOD!
