Caleb the Overcomer by Ruth Paxson.
Have you ever thought that you could never live a life of faith like the heroes in the Bible? Caleb was an ordinary man. He wasn’t a preacher, a politician, a CEO, or an emergency worker. He wasn’t famous. He wasn't even a hero! He was an ordinary man living an extraordinary life not because of anything in himself or in his circumstances but solely because of his relationship to his God.
We look at such men in public life and say, ‘Surely God does not expect me to live as they.’ If in the dawn of the spiritual history of God's people such an overcomer as Caleb could shine forth with such brilliancy what excuse can there possibly be to those of us living near the midnight hour of the time of Christ's church on earth? Caleb calls and challenges us. ‘Let us go up at once and possess it: for we are well able to overcome it.’ Will you respond to the call and accept the challenge of Caleb the Overcomer?
