Joshua 12-15

“So now give me this hill country of which the LORD spoke on that day” (14:12). At 85 years old, Caleb was thriving, and he still counted on receiving his promised land. He was full of faith, just as he had been when he “spied out the land” for Moses and brought back a positive report.  Caleb’s daughter had inherited this spirit: “She said to him, ‘Give me a blessing. Since you have given me the land of the Negeb, give me also springs of water” (15:19). 

“As it was in my heart” (14:7). Like Caleb, faith rises in our hearts when we believe God is powerful and true, and that He is the giver of good gifts.
