Then Joshua blessed Caleb son of Jephunneh and gave him Hebron as his inheritance. (Joshua 14:13)

One warrior blessing another.
It was of Caleb that the Lord had given a testimony and a promise.

But because my servant Caleb has a different spirit and follows me wholeheartedly, I will bring him into the land he went to, and his descendants will inherit it. (Numbers 14:24)

That's what the Lord desires from us too--to follow Him wholeheartedly. Of course, it took time, but the Lord fulfilled His promise. The Lord is faithful and He brings to pass what He promises.

Not many know what part of the promised land Joshua received. We read of that in Joshua Ch. 19

When they had finished dividing the land into its allotted portions, the Israelites gave Joshua son of Nun an inheritance among them, as the LORD had commanded. They gave him the town he asked for - Timnath Serah in the hill country of Ephraim. And he built up the town and settled there. (Joshua 19:49,50)

Just rewards for the 2 warriors who followed the Lord wholeheartedly.

And the Lord has a promise for us too:
Our Promised Land- New Jerusalem
