1. As the Lord commanded Moses (1-5)

Joshua divided the land among the tribes just as the Lord had commanded Moses. He was obedient to God's word.

2. Caleb remembers God's promise (6-9)

Caleb was one of the 12 spies who explored Canaan 40 years before. He and Joshua looked at the land with the eyes of faith and had encouraged the people to go in and conquer. Because he followed the Lord wholeheartedly, Moses gave him the land he had explored, Hebron. Now, 45 years had passed and Caleb was 85 years old.

3. The Anakites (10-15)

The land Caleb asked for was full of large fortified cities and giants--the Anakites. Caleb did not shrink back. He still trusted God with his whole heart, and he was ready, with the Lord's help, to take the land the Lord had promised him.

Application: Lord, help me to follow you wholeheartedly all my life; give me faith to fight giants when I am 85!
One Word: Claim God's promise by faith
