Joshua 15

So Othniel the son of Kenaz, the brother of Caleb, took it; and he gave him Achsah his daughter as wife.  Now it was so, when she came to him, that she persuaded him to ask her father for a field. So she dismounted from her donkey, and Caleb said to her, “What do you wish?”  She answered, “Give me a blessing; since you have given me land in the South, give me also springs of water.” So he gave her the upper springs and the lower springs. vv.17-19

Read chapter 15
Othniel and Achsah.  Two new people in the Bible we read of for a brief moment in Joshua.  Caleb just finished conquering a land where giants lived and before he decided to conquer another land he gave the opportunity for someone else to step up to the plate and trust in God being greater than those giants.  His request is twofold as he also adds that he will give his daughter as wife to whoever is able to do it.  This was probably his way of providing for his daughter a man that will protect her but also a godly man who's faith is strong in the Lord.  This same man, Othniel, is the first judge we read of who becomes leader of the Israelites once Joshua dies (see Judges 3).  Caleb as Othniel's father-in-law probably had great influence on him leading his people and more-so trusting in God.  Achsah is a woman who we see seems very similar to her father: bold.  Just like Caleb declared he wanted the land of Anak and so was given it as a blessing from God, so Achsah declared she wanted springs of water and her father gave it to her as a blessing.  I love the relationship you see between this father and daughter: the daughter isn't afraid to approach his daughter, they have a deep relationship and affection toward one another.  It's not a spoiled daughter begging her father for more.  It's a daughter who knows her father loves to bless her and in her request for springs, he chooses which springs to give her.   How can you be a man like Othniel or a woman like Achsah?
Luke 11:9-13 brings this home to us in asking our heavenly father for things:

“So I say to you, ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened.  If a son asks for bread[d] from any father among you, will he give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, will he give him a serpent instead of a fish?  Or if he asks for an egg, will he offer him a scorpion?  If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him!”
