Sometime around 1400 BCE, an eighty-five-year-old man walked up to Joshua, commander of the armies of Israel, and asked for a fight nobody expected him to want. The land he wanted was Hebron. Still occupied by the Anakites, a people so physically imposing that an earlier generation of scouts had stood at the edge of this same territory and reported back that they felt like grasshoppers next to them. That generation chose not to move. They spent the next forty years dying in a wilderness, waiting to feel ready for a fight they never took. Caleb didn’t wait. Joshua handed him the deed to Hebron in one verse. By the next verse, the giants were gone. No gap. No preparation phase. No waiting for a better season or a stronger back. What’s the one move you’ve been calling “not yet”? You know exactly which one. You’re not waiting on God anymore. You already have the word. You’re waiting on a feeling that was never going to show up before you moved. Week 6 is this Sunday. GIVE ME MY MOUNTAIN closes. Be in the room.
