“For my part, I wholeheartedly followed the Lord my God.”
Caleb reminds Joshua how the two of them were faithful to the Lord when they returned from spying out the land of Canaan at the direction of Moses. He gives his testimony, now forty-five years later, and declares that he has not just followed the Lord in the years since, but followed him with all his heart.
Faithfulness is what the Lord is all about. He is certainly pleased when he finds it in his people, and grieved when he does not.
Starting well is important, but finishing well is much more important. The race must be run—to the finish line. The faith must be kept.
