During my morning devotion, Alistair Begg was teaching about Caleb. In the book of Joshua the book recounts that Caleb waited 45 years for something promised to him but lived honorably under someone else’s punishment. At the end of his life he claims his inheritance. The leader of the Jews gave Caleb his inheritance because “he wholly followed God” (Joshua 14:14) The phrase wholly followed God struck me.  ”Wholly” - the word means completely, fully or totally. Caleb was completely sold out to God. I am not sure that someone would give me anything but if they did I am not sure that it would be because I wholly did something. The lesson for me was that life must be lived every minute every second wholly. For true purpose, we must be wholly following God because without that we start keeping score according to worthless possessions and successes. Wholly following God requires a constant attention to remain focus against the distractions of life. I think I should commit myself to my inheritance the Lord has for me on the basis of seeking out a wholly lived life. Tearing off the fear of rejections, the criticism of others and the doubt of partial living are the first steps to being whole. A lesson I need to learn - live wholly.AH
