MOUNTAIN CLIMBERS!

22 Jun MOUNTAIN CLIMBERS!

Now…give me this mountain of which the LORD spoke in that day… Josh 14:12a

The story of Caleb found in the Old Testament is an amazing picture of perseverance in the face of national disobedience and a 45 year wilderness saga. Only belief in the vision God had given Caleb kept him determined not to yield to the consequences of a complaining, disobedient generation of evil doers, and an aging body that naturally would have weakened over 45 years.

Caleb was delivered from the hands of the Egyptians along with approximately 3 million Israelites. He saw God protect him as he partook of the Passover and saw this group of 3 million walk out of Egypt carrying the spoils of wealth.

Caleb had HISTORY WITH GOD!

Yet, when the children were on their journey to the promised land something happened! This group still carried the image of slavery in their hearts. When the opportunity to seize their promise came they remembered only from whence they came rather than from whom they came and they would die in a desert. Caleb, on the other hand, saw a land of possibilities and although there were giants in the land, he understood that the God of Israel would deliver him once again!

What picture will you embrace today – the picture of your past or the picture of your possibility?

If you believe you can, you probably can. If you believe you won’t, you most assuredly won’t. Belief is the ignition switch that gets you off the launching pad. – Denis Waitley
