The prize of God's fellowship
November 24, 2009
So now give me this hill country of which the LORD spoke on that day…
--Joshua 14:12
One of my favorite personalities in the Bible is Caleb. After Moses and a generation of Israelites had perished in the wilderness, it was Caleb, teamed with Joshua, who brought the children of Israel to the Promised Land.
When we find Caleb at the age of 85 years standing on the threshold of the Promised Land, he's about to claim his inheritance. He probably could have had any piece of land that he had wanted, but Caleb pointed toward Hebron, a land inhabited by giants, and said, "I want that mountain!"
After 40 years in the wilderness, you and I might have been ready for the rocking chair, but not Caleb. You see, he was as strong as ever, and still running the race that the Lord set before him. He wasn't about to slow down.
Caleb was ready to take a mountain for the great joy of possessing Hebron… that sacred land where Abraham had met God face to face!
So let me ask you something. Are you running your race like Caleb? Will you run as hard as you can all the way to the finish?
Now is the time to pick up the pace. Don't slow down! Face down the giants that would hinder you, refuse to compromise with sin, and run for the great prize of fellowship with God.
NOW IS THE TIME TO PICK UP THE PACE. DON'T SLOW DOWN!

OUR THANKS TO YOU!
Dear Friend,
Do the words rested... peaceful... and refreshed describe you today? Or do the words stressed... rushed... and pressured better describe your way of life?
If you're like most Christians, you'd probably have to admit those last three words more accurately describe your life most of the time!
The good news is that it doesn't have to be this way... even when your life is one big pressure-cooker. And in my new book, Pause: Resting in God Instead of Stressing Out, I'll show you why.
Based on the principles from Paul's letter to the Philippians and Psalm 23, Pause: Resting in God Instead of Stressing Out will help you find true peace and rest in a world that is anything but peaceful and restful. It's the perfect "pause" button you need!
So please request your copy of Pause: Resting in God Instead of Stressing Out when you give online today! --Jack Graham
