Joshua 14:1-15
14:1-5 The land divided west of the Jordan river. God promised to give an inheritance of land to each of the 12 tribes of Israel (named after the 12 sons of Jacob). The Levites' "land" inheritance would always be God Himself. Their ardent and steadfast faith then, now and always places them directly in God's sphere. The rest of the children of Israel divide the land according to God's instructions: by size, to be fair. These 12 tribes continued to expand throughout what is now our world today.
14:6-10 Caleb has been a man of great faith since his first appearance in scripture (which he references now: Numbers 14). God promised that Caleb's pure and brilliant faith would award him a great inheritance one day. Caleb, even though aging, proclaims that God has kept him strong throughout the years. Caleb's faith has remained strong and God's promise is therefore to be fulfilled.
14:13-15 Joshua follows through on giving Caleb what was promised to him by God, his own place on earth to call home: Hebron. These were places cleared of evil by God and opened wide for righteous families to built and grow within.
God's promises remain as young and vibrant as the faith of His children, even as they age. Our journey here is made a journey of blessing by our compassionate Father. He never forgets us or a promise. He always fulfills and fills our purpose and prayer.
