PRIMARY TOPRJ—Brave Caleb. JUNIOR TOPIC—Caleb the Brave. INTERMEDIATEANDSENIORTOPIC—- l . A Hero’s Reward. „ * YOUNG PEOPLEANDADULTTOPIC— Ccuragefar Difficult Tasks. * "Wo need to know more good men who are occasionally great, and less about great men who are occasionally good," says the Lessen Commentary, in pointing cut that Caleb Is one of the characters about whom the Bible does not say much, hut in every case the word is one revealing high and noble char­ acter, Consider such passages as Numbers 13:6, 30; 14;7-9, 24,30; 26; 65, as well as our lesson for today. The background for our study of. today, and in fact an integral part of the lesson itself, is thp story of Caleb's courageous stand with Joshua when the spies returned from their visit to Canaan, which is re­ lated in Numbers 13. He was then a comparatively young man, but demonstrated by his every word and deed that he had from his youth learned to know and obey God. Note first of all Caleb’s I. Perfect Obedience (w . 6-6), " I wholly followed the Lord my God.” Such a testimony from a man like Caleb is no idle boast, no effort to parade his faith and piety before others. In saying it he was repeating what God and Moses had both said about him. In his heart he .knew it to be true. It' is God’s will for each of His children that they should come to such a place of simple trust and complete obedience that/in every circumstance of life they/need know only one thing—God’s will, and then in faith to go and^o iy It is a life beautiful in uk-teansparent sim­ plicity and powerful in the strength of God'Himself. II. Promised Inheritance (v. 9). "Surely the land whereon thy feet have trodden shall be thine inher­ itance." Such was the promise-of, God through Moses. Forty-five long years had elapsed, but down through this period of wilderness wanderings and the conflict in sub­ duing Canaan the promise had lived in ^Caleb’s heart. He knew it would, be fulfilled, and he waited serenely for God’s time, Such also.are the promises o f God which keep the heart singing in our hours of trial and sorrow* which light up the dark ways, which strengthen the heart.of His children. Learn God’S promises; cherish them in ymfiriheart, expect'God to fulfill them, . III. Preserved Strength (vv. 10, 11).. "The Lord hath kept me alive « » . and Xam . . strong,” Herd was a man kept o f God, in full vigor in his eighty-fifth year, “ like a rock in a changeful sea, like a snow­ capped peak in a change of cloud and Storm and sun" (Meyer). No doubt there was what our fore­ fathers liked to call "the longevity of the antedeluvians," but even apart from that let us recognize that life and strength come from God, and that those who walk with God in holy living may count on Him for the renewed strength of Psalm 103:5, ' An incidental, but extremely im­ portant, lesson; we Should learn is that God has no age deadline. The church ' has frequently sinned against Him and against His faith­ ful servants by "shelving them” for younger men, when they would have brought blessing to themselves and to the church by encouraging and using them. The writer of these lines is a young man, but he would speak hero a word of loving admonition regarding his honored brethren who have gone on before to bear the brunt of the battle. IV. Powerful Assurance (vv. 12- 15). "If . . . the Lord will be with me, then I shall be able." Caleb asked j for no easy task. He was ready to go up against the giants of Hebron. Read Deuteronomy 3:11, and you will find that there were men in these days who needed thirteen-foot beds. But Caleb was not afraid. He counted not on his own Strength, but on gie power of God. It is sig­ nificant that while the other sec­ tions of Canaan were only par­ tially conquered Caleb brought Ids formidable adversaries entirely un­ der control, so that "tho land had rest from war" (v.15). Tho spiritual Application to our day is evident and, appropriate. There are giants in tho land in tins year of cur Lord 1938. Corruption ^socigl and political—Taioes its brazen head. Drunkenness and viee leer at us with the impudent suggestion that we cannot control them. There are giants “ within us —greed, solflolmess, love of ease, lust, passion, cruelty" (Blaikie). Are we to do nothing about them? If we are to meet them in the* strength o f the flesh we might almost as well do nothing, But in the pow­ er of God, we are like Caleb—able, in III* name we may -take up a slogan of today, “ Let’s do some­ thing about it!" and really do if, for His glory.
