would like us to see the positive things that were revealed in the lives of Joshua
and Caleb.
Although most of those alive who came out of Egypt failed to obtain the
promise, everyone who believed obtained the promise. This should serve
to encourage those who see so much defeat everywhere around them. What the
story of Joshua and Caleb reveals is that even if all who are around you are falling
short of victory due to evil desires, rebellion, fear and unbelief, those who will
follow the Lord with a whole heart will ALWAYS obtain the promises of God.
Yahweh will not disqualify you due to the unbelief of those around you. All those
who have faith to take possession of the land of their flesh, will do so.
Joshua and Caleb witnessed every male over the age of twenty from their
generation die in the wilderness. They observed that none of these entered the
land to drive out the inhabitants that dwelt there. But they held fast to the
promises of God, and they went into the land and have received the testimony that
among all those of their generation, they were pleasing to the Father. This can be
God’s testimony concerning your life as well.
