Caleb

Joshua
Caleb's faith is a wonderful thing to read about.  Here he is, 85 years old, and still ready to fight the foreigners in the name of God.  He went and asked Joshua to let him take over some land in Canaan that still had some other nations living there.  Caleb said in Joshua 14:12 - "Now give me this hill country that the Lord promised me that day. You yourself heard then that the Anakites were there and their cities were large and fortified, but, the Lord helping me, I will drive them out just as he said."  Caleb had great faith in God's promise that Israel would be able to conquer the promised land.
We may not have to physically fight for land to fulfill God's promises, but we do have to move forward in faith that God will come through.  We can't idly sit around waiting for God to bless us.  We have to take part in advancing his kingdom, and in doing so, we will reap many blessings.
