“As yet I am as strong this day as I was in the day that Moses sent me: as my strength was then, even so is my strength now, for war, both to go out, and to come in.”
Joshua 14:11 KJV
Even at age 85, Caleb had great faith to drive out giants. His faith challenges us today to expect and attempt greater things by accepting greater challenges. God desires for us to ‘Call to Me, and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things, which you do not know.’ Under the old covenant, Moses, Joshua, Caleb and others had supernatural strength to accomplish insurmountable tasks. In Christ, we’re in a better covenant based on better promises, where age has no limitations. We can go into the hardest enemy territory and mightily deliver souls for Christ. Though our outward man shows signs of aging, our inward man is constantly renewed day by day becoming strong to sustain our outer man. Our strong spirit will make us do mighty exploits for God till the last minute of our life on earth. God’s Word energises us and God’s Spirit empowers us to possess greatly for the Lord Jesus. The choice is ours, we can increase our inner strength and develop our faith to avail more of God, or we can retire. Let’s accept new challenges, new tasks, new territories, new vigour, no matter how old we are! We can do all things through Christ Who strengthens us. Hallelujah!
