Eighty-Five Years Old
Joshua 14:9
So on that day Moses swore to me, 'The land on which your feet have walked will be your inheritance and that of your children forever, because you have followed the LORD my God wholeheartedly.'
This follows up yesterday's verse. Caleb's reward was material, was land, was wealth. Also, he was given health, he notes: "So here I am today, eighty-five years old! I am still as strong today as the day Moses sent me out; I'm just as vigorous to go out to battle now as I was then."
Picture this tough old warrior, grizzled and leathery, no doubt, but sharp-eyed and full of wisdom from his years of following Yahweh wholeheartedly. God, please let that be me at 85, strong, vigorous, wholehearted for You.
