A Heart like Caleb

Devotional:

In Numbers 13, we see the heart of Caleb revealed. Despite the opposition from the ten evil spies, he maintained his faithful position towards God. In essence, you could see that he had an unwavering loyalty to God. This steadfastness, produced great strength within him but also set him up to receive a bountiful harvest.

What was it about Caleb that made his heart posture so distinct? When you study names in the Bible, you begin to learn the spiritual implications of them. A physical name, reveals the destiny on the spiritual plane. Caleb’s name meant, dog. In other words, it signified the loyal spirit that dog’s carry. And as we observe in Numbers 13, this was the very spirit that was within him.

Quite often, we speak of having a heart like David. But even David indirectly mentioned the importance of having a heart like Caleb. When a man is undivided in his heart, he is stable in all his ways. He can be trusted and more importantly used greatly as a vessel in God’s Kingdom.

So may we all desire to have a heart like Caleb...
