At the conclusion of Caleb’s life there was one more request that he had. There was one piece of unsettled business that he wanted to finish.
Josh. 14:7-12
7 I was forty years old when Moses the servant of the Lord sent me from Kadesh Barnea to spy out the land, and I brought back word to him as it was in my heart. 8 Nevertheless my brethren who went up with me made the heart of the people melt, but I wholly followed the Lord my God. 9 So Moses swore on that day, saying,’Surely the land where your foot has trodden shall be your inheritance and your children’s forever, because you have wholly followed the Lord my God.’ 10 And now, behold, the Lord has kept me alive, as He said, these forty-five years, ever since the Lord spoke this word to Moses while Israel wandered in the wilderness; and now, here I am this day, eighty-five years old. 11 As yet I am as strong this day as on the day that Moses sent me; just as my strength was then, so now is my strength for war, both for going out and for coming in. 12 Now therefore, give me this mountain of which the Lord spoke in that day; for you heard in that day how the Anakim were there, and that the cities were great and fortified. It may be that the Lord will be with me, and I shall be able to drive them out as the Lord said.”

Man what a Dangerous Christian! Caleb is now 85 years old and he still has that fire of God in his bones. He says give me this mountain, this is my mountain, I own this mountain, anybody that is on my mountain better get off because I’m coming and I coming fast and furious.   He hasn’t gotten complacent, he hasn’t made excuses because of his age, and he never says he’s tired from the journey that life placed before him. No quite the contrary, he says give me this mountain now! God has kept me alive all these years and this is the last promise that has yet to be fulfilled. I know that God is with me and I am asking for this mountain. I want this mountain! Whatever mountains stand before you today, no matter how young or how old you are, I want to encourage you to trust Jesus and go conquer that mountain at once!
