Daily Thought for: 5th March
CALEB: ‘GIVE ME THIS MOUNTAIN’
Joshua 14. 6; 15. 1-17
Forty-five years have elapsed since the incident at Kadesh-barnea, Num.
14. Caleb is still determined to claim his inheritance, with the Lords
help, Josh. 14. 12. God has kept the inheritance for him, and Caleb for
the inheritance, 14. 10-11. He is as strong now as then. In 1 Peter we read
of an inheritance awaiting us, also preserved; and of Gods power being
exercised to preserve us, 1. 3-5.
What is Calebs inheritance? Hebron: a place of special significance in
regard to the purposes and people of God; chosen by God for Abraham, where
he dwelt and built an altar, Gen. 13. 14-18, and where the patriarchs were
buried. Is that why it meant so much to Caleb? And his feet had trodden
on it, 14. 9. Do we value our spiritual inheritance, our birthright as
Gods children, the traditions that belong to us; for instance, the Lords
Supper, the priesthood of all believers, see 1 Cor. 11. 2; 2 Thess. 2. 15?
It is no surprise that the Anakim were present at HebronSatan always contests
what is of value to God, seeking to rob God and His people, Num. 13. 31,
33.
Caleb completely captures Hebron, his inheritance, in marked contrast to
the eleven tribes, see Judges 1, where we see failure through compromise.
He who follows fully the Lord enters fully into his inheritance. If we
sow to the Spirit we shall of the Spirit reap, Gal. 6. 8.
Caleb has something to give, something which has cost him, land (yet to
be possessed). He also has a fine daughter. He sets a task for a prospective
son-in-law; the taking of Kirjath-sephar will secure her, 15.16. Othniel
doubtless looked at Achsah and the enemy at Kirjath-sepher, one attractive,
one dangerous. How long did he waver? Only as long perhaps as it took to
recall that a short while ago, Achsahs father had himself risked his life
in similar fashion, v. 14. Calebs exploits are an inspiration to Othniel;
he was not asking anything he had not done himself. Caleb has an example
to give. We may compare Pauls words, You know (their having been witnesses),
e.g. Acts 20. 18, 34; 1 Thess. 2. 1-2, 9-11; and see 2 Tim. 3. 10-12. Actions
reinforce words, and example is so important.
