This lesson from Joshua 10:29–14:15 highlights God’s faithfulness and the importance of faithful obedience. Israel’s victories over southern and northern Canaan demonstrate God’s just judgment on wicked nations and His fulfillment of promises to His people. The conquest of Canaan wasn’t ruthless conquest but divine justice against long-standing cruelty and sin. The lesson also celebrates Caleb’s remarkable faith—though 85 years old, he remains strong, hopeful, and eager to claim his inheritance. He asks for the land of Hebron, still inhabited by giants, because he trusts in God’s power. The lesson reminds believers that faithfulness doesn’t remove battles but strengthens us through them, shaping deeper trust and dependence on God.
