“Give me a blessing. Since you have given me the land of the Negeb, give me also springs of water” (15:19). Caleb’s bold daughter Achsah followed in her father’s footsteps of faith. Caleb, along with Joshua, had been one of the only men in his generation to believe the Lord could help them occupy the Promised Land. Caleb had defeated three fierce, huge “sons of Anak” in the region, and Othniel had conquered nearby land and ‘won’ Achsah in marriage. The couple wanted springs of water too, believing the land was their future home.
“What do you want?” (15:18). Faith in God’s power and kindness prompts us to ask boldly for what we need, in accordance with his will, without fear.
