    1. Numbers 13: 2 Send some men to explore the land of Canaan, which I am giving to the Israelites. From each ancestral tribe send one of its leaders.”
    2. Luke 12:48  For unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required: and to whom men have committed much, of him they will ask the more.
  2. Do the right thing even if the rest say No

    1. Joshua 14:10-11 Now then, just as the Lord promised, he has kept me alive for forty-five years since the time he said this to Moses, while Israel moved about in the wilderness. So here I am today, eighty-five years old!  I am still as strong today as the day Moses sent me out;
  5. Your reward is coming!
    1. Joshua 14:14 So Hebron has belonged to Caleb ever since, because he followed the Lord, the God of Israel, wholeheartedly.
