What Does Joshua 15:14 Mean?
Caleb expels from Hebron the three Anakite clans, Sheshai, Ahiman, and Talmai. These were the very giants whose great stature once made ten spies say the land could not be taken. The thing the others feared, Caleb now accomplishes.
What terrified an entire nation is overcome by one old man who trusted God. The giants that seemed unconquerable fall before the faith that takes God at His word. The obstacles that loom largest in our fears are not measured against our strength but against the power of the One who sends us forward.
Joshua 15:14 in the Original Language
