Reading – Joshua 13-15

Highlight Verse:
(Caleb speaking)

“So give me the hill country that the Lord promised me. You will remember that as scouts we found the descendants of Anak living there in great, walled towns. But if the Lord is with me, I will drive them out of the land, just as the Lord said.””
‭‭Joshua‬ ‭14‬:‭12‬ ‭NLT‬‬

A week before I got married, my best man thought it’d would be a great idea to go white water rafting for the bachelor party.

My friends and I had a choice whether to do the beginner run or the intermediate. The guides told us the intermediate would be a lot more work but a lot more fun. So, of course, we chose it.

It was fun.

A lot of fun.

Until that one section where they told us this was the one section where we didn’t want to fall out.

To make a long story short, by our wedding day, my bruises were large and black.

But I have a great story to tell.

If you were to ask Caleb why he chose an area where he would have to defeat giants if think he would say it was because he could, at least with God’s help.

What makes us guys choose the tougher path?

He might also say that anything worth having is worth fighting for.

Caleb and his clan would treasure their land.

If you are facing great difficulty, remember that you don’t fight alone. If it is the right goal, God will help you win the battle.

And you will treasure that victory.

Are you facing a seemingly insurmountable goal?
Have you checked in with God to see if it is something for which He will fight?
Do you trust God to fight for you?
