Caleb didn’t dream about counting waves in Florida
Caleb was an incredible guy at age 40. He teamed up with Joshua and insisted “we must by all means go in and take the land”. He looked past difficulties and obstacles and believed God deeply.
Amazing thing about this guy is that he could have retired early and lived in some prime ocean front real estate along the Med. coast. But no way. At age 85 he puts in a request for a building permit in what would be like present day downtown Bahgdad.
This is a guy who was getting closer to God and stronger in Grace and truth and power.

The scripture spot for this Caleb deal is Joshua 14. He was 40 when he went first into the land as a spy and 85 when he got the hairbrained idea of taking the high ground.
