I love when the Holy Spirit leads me to Caleb in the Bible - he's one of my favorites. Caleb is described as an extraordinary spirit, and that just makes me jump on the inside.
Today, the Holy Spirit took me to Joshua 14.
I read 14:6-15. It's rich in revelation. One piece, specifically, hit me.
verse 7: Caleb speaking, it says "I was forty years old when Moses the servant of the Lord sent me from Kadesh Barnea to spy out the land, and I brought back word to him as it was in my heart."
{ as it was in my heart }
This phrase stands out to me.
Usually logic fights for the leading role. Caleb chose differently and determined that his heart would lead him. (Look back at Numbers 13-14. The unfolding of events is shocking and tragic. Most of the men who went to spy out the land saw giants. Caleb and Joshua saw an exceedingly good inheritance that the Lord had given them to possess.)
This is what reverberates in my spirit:
Looking through man's eyes, one will see giants and defeat. Looking with Heaven's eyes, one sees an inheritance. An inheritance flowing with milk and honey and fruit. An exceedingly good land.
How I want to move and breath and see with the eyes of Heaven, all the time, all the way. Heaven. come. down.
