Day 118: Joshua divides the conquered cities among the Israelites | Jesus ascends into Heaven

In Joshua chapters 13-14, God instructs Joshua to divide the land of Canaan among the Israelites, emphasizing areas yet to be conquered. As the land is distributed, Caleb reminds Joshua of Moses' promise that he would inherit the land where he had set foot, as a reward for his unwavering faithfulness when he scouted it 45 years earlier. At 85, Caleb asks for and is granted the hill country of Hebron, where the formidable Anakites dwell.

Will Caleb's age and past faithfulness be enough to conquer the mighty Anakites in Hebron?

In Luke 24:36-53, Jesus appears to His disciples suddenly, startling and frightening them as they think they are seeing a ghost. He shows them His hands and feet and even eats with them to prove His physical resurrection, then He opens their minds to understand the scriptures that foretold His death and resurrection. Before ascending into heaven, Jesus blesses His disciples and instructs them to stay in Jerusalem until they are endowed with power from on high.

Will the disciples' newfound understanding and the promise of divine power change the course of their mission?
