lowed the Lord. -JOShEa l4.q
Companions in battle rqua11v
means friends and comrades for
life. Joshua. of whom we s+ldiad
last week. had such . friend in
Caleb. Together they had faced the
crises Of life.
Caleb is one of the characters
about whom the Bible docs NOT cav
much. but in every case tha word
is one revealing high and noh1o
character. Consider such passages
as Numbers 1876. 30 l4:7-Q, q. 30.
2G:G5. as we'll as our lesson for
TODAY.
The background for our study is
the story Of Caleb's courageous
stand with Joshua when the spies re-
turned from their visit to Canaan,
which is related in Numbers 10.
Note first of all Calcb's
!. Perfect Obedience Josh. II:
G-8).
4 wholly followed the Lord my
God Such a testimony from a man
like Caleb is no idle boast, no effort
to parade his faith and piety before
others. In saying It he was repeating
what God and Moses had both said
ABOUT nm. IN MS heart he knew 1T
TO De true
It is Gods will for each of His
children that they should come to
such a place of simple trust and
complete obedience that in every
circumstance of life they need to
know only one thing-God' S will, and
then in faith to 90 and do it. 1t is a
lie beautiful in its transparent
simplicity and powerful in the
strength of God Himself.
II. Promised inheritance ". 81.
Surely the land vHereon thy feet
have trOdden shall be thine inheri-
lance" Such was the promise of
God through Moses. Forty-five long
years had elapsed but down
through this period of wilderness
Wanderings and the conflict in sub
dung Canaan the promise had lived
in Caleb S heart. He knew it would
be fulfilled, and he waited serenely
for God S time.
Such also are the promises Of God
which keep the heart singing in our
hours Of trial and sorrow. which
lieht uD the dark WAYS. which
STRENGTHEN the heart of His children.
Learn God S promises. cherish them
in your heart, expect God to fulfill
them.
