In Numbers 14:24 (ESV), the Lord acknowledged that Caleb was a man who followed Him wholeheartedly. The Lord recognized this man’s faith. What others saw as impossible, Caleb saw as attainable through the power of God. He wasn’t a man proudly proclaiming his own strength. Rather, he was someone with determined persistence, rooted and grounded in faith, relying on God’s promises. In Joshua 14, we learn that Caleb began his journey in his forties, yet in his eighties he boldly proclaimed that he was still as strong in the Lord as he was as a younger man. He refused to allow his age to diminish his worth in God's kingdom. Throughout scripture, we find evidence that God continues to bless us in our old age. Isaiah 46:3-4 (NIV) reassures us that even in our old age, the Lord will sustain us. The secret to the fountain of youth is found in Psalm 92. When we are planted firmly in the house of the Lord, when we live in His presence daily, we will flourish in His courts. Like Caleb, we’ll be as strong in our eighties as we were in our forties. Nothing can stop us from bearing fruit in our old age. Therefore, let's resist the temptation to allow our age to limit our ability to serve the Lord. We have great worth and value to God, regardless of our age.
