Here is today’s Bible reading: Joshua 13:1-14:15; Luke 18:1-17; Psalm 85:1-13; Proverbs 13:7-8.

Joshua 14:10-12 (NIV) 

“Now then, just as the Lord promised, he has kept me alive for forty-five years since the time he said this to Moses, while Israel moved about in the desert. So here I am today, eighty-five years old! [11] I am still as strong today as the day Moses sent me out; I’m just as vigorous to go out to battle now as I was then. [12] Now give me this hill country that the Lord promised me that day. You yourself heard then that the Anakites were there and their cities were large and fortified, but, the Lord helping me, I will drive them out just as he said.”

I love this passage!  Caleb is 80 years old, and he’s not done fighting.  “Let me at ’em”, he says.  He is as wholehearted in his commitment to God and His promises as he was 40 years ago.  No wonder God blessed him.  I want to age like that.
