Joshua 14:10-12
"...I am still here today, 85 years old. And today I am as strong as on the day Moses sent me out. My strength is now as it was then for war and for other activities. Therefore give me this mountainous region...surely Jehovah will be with me and I will drive them out."
Although Caleb was 85 years old, at Joshua 14:12 he asks for the difficult assignment of clearing out the region of Hebron which was filled with the intimidating Anakim. He knew that with Jehovah's help he could accomplish anything. We can follow his example and not be afraid of an intimidating circumstance. And if we do need a little confidence boost we can think about how Caleb's faith was not misplaced, and he did succeed in this assignment.
