Caleb spent 45 years wandering and battling just so he could get his hands on those giants and prove that with God's help those giants had no chance. Man, was that 46th year marvelous. Well, not so much for those giants.

 Yes, God needs you to be precisely the individual that He created you to be. Why? Because the individual He created you to be fits perfectly into the precise place He needs you to complete the body so it can do its work in the kingdom. Together is the essence of Christianity.

 The spiritual wrestling match is fought on one's knees. "We wrestle not against flesh and blood."

 He lived a life "full of grace and truth." That's not fifty percent grace and fifty percent truth. His life always reflected fully, lovingly, and uncompromisingly grace and truth. We must live the same way if people are going to behold His glory in us. Anything less and all they will see is us. That's not such a "pretty picture."

We always get impatient with God when He calls on us to wait. Yet, waiting is the foundation of a faith that can soar in the winds of adversity. No waiting in our lives. No eagle's wings. "Wait, I say, on the Lord."

 Jesus asked, "Will I find any faith when I come?" Yes, He's asking that question of you and me.  Will He?

Praise is a lifestyle.

_______________

 The struggle is evidence that you are right where God wants you.
