It’s hard when we lose our dreams, struggles, seasons, confusing
Sometimes we buy into culture of giving up
But god gives dreams not just for one season but all seasons
In Joshua the land is divided into areas to maintain.
Gods given them some great victories

Caleb born a slave, mentality of a slave
first 40 years
11 So they put slave masters over them to oppress them with forced labor, and they built Pithom and Rameses as store cities for Pharaoh. 12 But the more they were oppressed, the more they multiplied and spread; so the Egyptians came to dread the Israelites 13 and worked them ruthlessly. 14 They made their lives bitter with harsh labor in brick and mortar and with all kinds of work in the fields; in all their harsh labor the Egyptians worked them ruthlessly.
Exodus 1:11-14
There generation was defined as slaves
14 “In days to come, when your son asks you, ‘What does this mean?’ say to him, ‘With a mighty hand the Lord brought us out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery.

Lets look at Calebs view as they are in the promise land
30 Then Caleb silenced the people before Moses and said, “We should go up and take possession of the land, for we can certainly do it.”
7 and said to the entire Israelite assembly, “The land we passed through and explored is exceedingly good. 8 If the Lord is pleased with us, he will lead us into that land, a land flowing with milk and honey, and will give it to us. 9 Only do not rebel against the Lord. And do not be afraid of the people of the land, because we will devour them. Their protection is gone, but the Lord is with us. Do not be afraid of them.” 10 But the whole assembly talked about stoning them. Then the glory of the Lord appeared at the tent of meeting to all the Israelites.
Numbers

7 I was forty years old when Moses the servant of the Lord sent me from Kadesh Barnea to explore the land. And I brought him back a report according to my convictions, 8 but my fellow Israelites who went up with me made the hearts of the people melt in fear. I, however, followed the Lord my God wholeheartedly. 9 So on that day Moses swore to me, ‘The land on which your feet have walked will be your inheritance and that of your children forever, because you have followed the Lord my God wholeheartedly.’
he has a promise that creates a dream and holds onto it for 45 years
10 For we are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago.
We are a work of art, God is the artist
He makes you into a masterpiece
How- he makes us new
Not that we are wonderful it’s that he makes us
That the promise we must lock onto
The promise God has is good and amazing.
In every season 20s, 30s, 40s,50s, 60s, 70s
what Caleb did was so powerful, he persevered
and trusting his timing
Caleb has been holding on for 45 years
10 “Now then, just as the Lord promised, he has kept me alive for forty-five years since the time he said this to Moses, while Israel moved about in the wilderness. So here I am today, eighty-five years old!
40 years in the dessert depressing and just mad i didn’t chose this adventure
He trust Gods timing and don’t quit
how long does it take for you to panic?
11 I am still as strong today as the day Moses sent me out; I’m just as vigorous to go out to battle now as I was then.
Josh 14:11
Was that true????
Was he really as strong as he was when he was 40?
Doesn’t matter what anyone else thinks
It was true to Caleb.
how did he do it? Remained Battle ready
How did he do it? Remained Battle ready
He lived Battle ready every day
Because God promised and he moved forward (stayed in shape)
we must be battle ready for all your life
11 I am still as strong today as the day Moses sent me out; I’m just as vigorous to go out to battle now as I was then.

12 Now give me this hill country that the Lord promised me that day. You yourself heard then that the Anakites were there and their cities were large and fortified, but, the Lord helping me, I will drive them out just as he said.”
Josh
THe dependents of Anak (giants) the ones who made them frighted
