CALEB AND ME

Guest post by Connie Faust

Lord, let my spiritual fervor grow

And never diminish with age.

Don’t let m close the book on Your work,

Though this old body turns a new page.

Give me the heart of a Caleb, Lord,

Whose hoary head follows you still;

Though my feeble hands shake

And my ailing knees quake,

Just help me to walk in Your will.

Oh, to be like Caleb, who at the age of 85, said,

“The Lord hath kept me alive— while the children

Of Israel wandered in the wilderness;

As yet I am as strong this day as in the day

That Moses sent me (at 40): as my strength was then, even so is my strength now.

Why was Caleb so blessed?

“Because he wholly followed the Lord God of Israel” (Joshua 14:11-14).
