Strategy: The Strategic Faith of Caleb in Overcoming the Giants – a 5-Day Devotional by Allma Johnsonنموونە

Do you know about the strategic faith of Caleb? His life wasn’t just about believing in God’s promises—it was about trusting them with unwavering confidence and perseverance. Caleb was one of the twelve spies sent by Moses to scout the land of Canaan (Numbers 13). While ten of the spies were paralyzed by fear, Caleb and Joshua stood firm, believing that God would fulfill His word. He didn’t deny the presence of giants in the land, but he saw them as opportunities for God to move.

His journey isn’t just an event from the past; it’s a challenge for us today. Caleb’s unwavering trust in the Lord teaches us how to move beyond passive belief into active, strategic faith. In this five-day devotional, we’ll explore five key lessons from his life—his perseverance, his confidence in God’s plan, and the faith that enabled him to take hold of what was promised. Let’s dive in and discover how to walk in the same fearless faith that defined Caleb’s legacy.

Understand What You Have
“But my servant Caleb, because he has a different spirit in him and has followed Me fully, I will bring into the land where he went, and his descendants shall inherit it." — Numbers 14:24 (NKJV)

Caleb’s strategic faith began with an understanding of what he had—God’s promise and the power of God with him. His faith was not in his own ability but in the Lord who made the promise. Before he acted, Caleb knew that his victory wasn’t based on his own strength but on the Lord’s faithfulness. He recognized that he had everything he needed in God, and his faith was grounded in that. How often do we overlook what we already have because we focus too much on what we don’t? Caleb teaches us that true faith starts with recognizing and utilizing the resources we’ve already been given.

Take a moment to inventory the resources God has already provided for you: His Word, His promises, and the power of His Spirit. These are your tools for moving forward in faith.

Faith:
When you understand what you already have in God, you can walk in faith without hesitation, because His resources are limitless.

Reflection:
Think about Caleb’s journey. He didn’t just look at his own strength—he looked at God’s faithfulness. What resources has God already given you to step into His promises?

Prayer:
Lord, open my eyes to see all that You have already provided for me. Help me to walk in the strength and promise You have given, trusting that You will supply everything I need. In Jesus' name, Amen.
