Caleb's Prize
Joshua 14:14
So Hebron has belonged to Caleb son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite ever since, because he followed the LORD , the God of Israel, wholeheartedly.
Following Caleb's declaration of his strength and vigor at 85, he boldly demands the hill country promised him by God. He states that the land is full of Anakites in large, fortified cities, but with the help of God, he will vanquish them. Inspiring! At 85, he wasn't looking for a retirement community, but a new battle.
God forgive me, I seem to be looking for a retirement situation even now. I ought to be looking for new land to conquer, God helping me.
Following his claim, Joshua blessed him and gave him Hebron. Then follows verse 14.
"Delight yourself in the Lord, and He will give you the desires of your heart."
Ps. 37:4
