v.6 1. A Godly man never forgets the promises God made to Him.
(Then the children of Judah came unto Joshua in Gilgal; and Caleb the son of
                Jephunneh the Kenezite said unto him, Thou knowest the thing that the Lord
                said unto Moses the man of God concerning me and thee in Kadesh-barnea.)

v.7 2. The prompting of the heart of a God fearing man continues to have life and
zeal coming from God’s word.
(Forty years old was I when Moses the servant of the Lord sent me from Kadesh- barnea to espy out the land; and I brought him word again as it was in mine 
                heart.)

v.8 3. A Godly man never faints nor loses heart in the day of adversity.
(Nevertheless my brethren that went up with me made the heart of the people
                melt: but )

v.8 4. To the Godly man, there is but one option available.
(but I wholly followed the Lord my God.)

v.9 5. To the Godly man when God speaks it is manifest truth at that moment.
(And Moses sware on that day, saying, Surely the land whereon thy feet have
trodden shall be thine inheritance, and thy children’s for ever, because thou 
                hast wholly followed the Lord my God.)

v.10 6. Life is in the promiser, life is also in the promises of God.
(And now, behold, the Lord hath kept me alive, as He said, these forty and five years, even since the Lord spake this word unto Moses, while the children of
          Israel wandered in the wilderness: and now, lo, I an this day fourscore and five years old.)
v.11 Strength is a renewable resource to one holding on to God’s truth.

v.12 7. The promises of God spring forth into fruition in their season.
(Now therefore give me this mountain, whereof the Lord spake in that day; for thou heardest in that day how the Anakims were there, and that the cities were great and fenced: if so be the Lord will be with me, then I shall be able to drive them out, as the Lord said.)
All obstacles are removed by God.
