As we come to chapter 14 we find that Israel has not only entered into the Promised Land, but they have also conquered a great portion of the southern territory as well as the northern territory. They have come to the point where they are ready to divide the land according to the tribes of Israel.

They were to divide the territory by lot, as God had instructed them. But this is when the story gets very interesting, because the sons of Judah came to Joshua and Caleb said to him, "You remember the word which the Lord spoke to Moses concerning you and me at Kadesh Barnea. He swore to us that the land on which our foot has trodden shall be our inheritance. Now then, give me the land which was promised."

Caleb is an amazing character in the Bible and there is a lot to learn from his life. At this point he is 85 years old and he says that he has the same strength he had when he was 40 years old! What he wants is to be given the most difficult land there in Israel. It was the most difficult because it was hill country; it was difficult terrain. But its greatest challenge was that the Anakim were there. The sons of Anak were large people and it was they who had put fear into the hearts of Israel at Kadesh Barnea 45 years earlier. Caleb had been waiting 45 years for an opportunity to face the sons of Anak and take the hill country that God had promised him.

Israel was given the land of Canaan as an inheritance. It was the land which God had promised to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. It's a picture for us of the believer’s walk of victorious faith. But it takes courage to take hold of the promises of God and Caleb becomes a tremendous example for us in strength of faith, in wholehearted commitment, and in trusting God's Word.
