to be like caleb
today's sermon, "Caleb...wholly followed the Lord" from deuteronomy 1:36, was good. a reminder tt we are to wholly trust God in all that we do. whilst the other spies saw the difficulties tt they'd face to get into the promised land, caleb saw God's goodness. the other spies said to head back to the desert becos they're unable, caleb said to go forward cos they were able. caleb was blessed by God becos he had 'anor spirit'...he trusted God wholly, unlike the spies.
many a times, when i face difficulties, sad to say...i tend to react like the spies...i start to have distrust in God...and as i sat there on the pew listening, i realised what a fool i've been so many times. time and again, God saw me thru each semester, yet i fail to trust Him wholly each time before the results came out. but after listening to today's message...i just pray that instead of doubting God in trials to come, i would really put my trust in God and wholly surrender to Him...
in numbers 14:24, God said "But my servant Caleb, because he had another spirit with him, and hath followed me fully, him will i bring into the land whereinto he went; and his seed shall possess it."
because caleb trusted God wholly, God blessed him and brought him into the promised land. becos of his obedience, his descendants to come benefited from it as well. indeed, when we obey and honour God, it is not in vain for God will also honour us.
as for the spies? they faced God's immediate judgment - death. from this we see that unbelief is a curse and let us pray, that we would always bear this in mind and always remember to trust God wholly and not doubt His goodness and power.
"i can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me" phil 4:13
i pray that the day i meet my Creator & Heavenly Father...He would be able to commend me the same way He commended Caleb : )
