ever increasing faith...

It was said of Caleb that he “followed me [the Lord] wholly” (Numbers 14:24). He 
never wavered to the very end. Solomon wavered in his later years and “he went 
not fully after the Lord.” But at 85 years of age, Caleb could testify: “As yet 
I am as strong this day as I was in the day that Moses sent me; as my strength 
was then, even so is my strength now, for war, both to go out, and to come in” 
(Joshua 14:11). 
 
The message is glorious! It is this: It is not enough to have died to sin—to 
have entered fullness sometime in the past. The need is to grow in the Lord to 
the end! To keep your spiritual power and strength—to not waiver, to “wholly 
follow the Lord”—even in old age! 
 
It should be an ever-increasing faith.
