It has been such a blessing reading through the Bible in 90 days. We are on day 22 already and should be in 2 Samuel. I must admit, I am behind, but I keep reading a few extra pages everyday. I highly encourage everyone to join in on this challenge. (Click HERE to see more info)
As I read through Joshua chapter 14, I was touched to my heart to learn more about how Caleb waited for God´s promise. He wasn´t the one who disobeyed or complained at Moses, yet he too had to endure 45 years of wandering in the wilderness before he could finally follow God´s command. He could have gotten so bitter. He could have even gotten depressed in all that time, but we find him in chapter 14 storming his mountain, taking it in God´s name! He totally destroyed all the inhabitants of that mountain at 85 years of age!His faithfulness, and patience is a great example for when we are asked to wait. Then asked to wait some more. What is often our response? May my response be like that of Caleb´s. May I wait patiently and be found faithful in the end.
