I. THE DIGNITY OF CALEB'S CHARACTER "My servant."

1. The Lord justly demands our services.

2. The Lord distinctly recognises His servants.

II. THE COMMENDATION OF CALEB'S PIETY. "Another spirit."

1. The commendation of Caleb's excellent spirit.

(1)  Believing;

(2)  Courageous.

2. The commendation of Caleb's faithful conduct. He was decidedly, universally, and eminently pious and faithful.

III. THE RECOMPENSE OF CALEB'S FIDELITY. "Him will I bring into the land," &c. This gracious promise may be Considered as partially applicable to the people of God in all ages, and suggests two important truths by way of direction and encouragement.

1. God highly approves of fidelity and decision. Nothing is so important as the Divine approbation. His favour is life. The characters He approves are greatly honoured and blessed.

2. He will fully reward His approved followers. There is a present reward, both of temporal benefits and spiritual enjoyments (Psalm 34:9, 10; Matthew 6:33; Ephesians 1:3; Psalm 84:11). There is also a future reward of eternal bliss.
