“THE ATTITUDE CALEB HAS”
"THE ATTITUDE CALEB HAS"
Philip: If you were a long time reader of this blog. You have seen a lot of these words "God has promise us" ; "Visions, dreams and promises". Am I right? And you also know that this year is the fulfillment of those visions, dreams and promises. So.. okay.. fine this is the year of the visions, dreams and promises.. so what now? what are we going to do now? We prayed for that.. and did you know what? God has answered our prayer! Yes! He used the sunday service preach last sunday! and the sermon is all about.. the attitude of caleb… that is why He received God’s promise.
Chette: Did you know Caleb? Yep. He is one of the characters in the Bible. One of the 12 Spies of the promised Land. He has an extraordinary faith. He did not got afraid of the giants that was living in the promised Land. He trusted God so much and He believed that God has promised the Land to them that is why no one can stop God. God showed to us, brought us the message of Caleb’s Attitude. Of How should we act when God had promise us something and waiting for It.
Caleb’s Attitude…
1. Caleb Remember and Claim God’s promises (Joshua 14:6) If we are going to read Numbers and Joshua… you will see how Caleb remembered and Claim the promise that God has told him so. He Continually reminded God about His promise and continue to claim it, even though it wasn’t there YET.
2. Caleb Remains Faithful (Joshua 14:7-8) Caleb did not let go of God’s hands. He followed the Lord wholeheartedly. Doubts, fear, worry did not stop him from believing. He knows that God is not a LIAR God. What God said, It will be done.
3. Caleb Waited Patiently (Joshua 14:10) Caleb waited with no complains and no questions. He waited for God’s timing to Come. He did not get mad at God and ask Him "where?! where?!" He waited with patience.
4. Caleb was EXCITED and ENERGIZE in SERVING GOD (Joshua 14:11) He was already 80 years old that time when God has given Him the land. But His age did not stop him from "serving God" and not only that, sometimes.. because of our age.. we grew tired of serving God. But NOT CALEB. For 80 years of his life.. He served God with excitement in His heart. 5. Caleb TRUST in GOD (Joshua 14:12) Caleb fully trust in God. Even into the times… it was so doubtful.. Yet. He never let go of His Trust in God.
As we wait for God’s promise, we should be like Caleb. We should always remember and claim God’s promise, Remain faithful, wait patiently, serve God with excitement and trust God.
God bless!
Philip and Chette
