Bible Bites
Little by Little
“I will not drive them out before you in a single year, that the land may not become desolate and the beasts of the field become too numerous for you. I will drive them out before you little by little, until you become fruitful and take possession of the land. ” (Exodus 23:29-30)
We often want instant results, but instant results can have ugly consequences. God told the Israelites they could have the Promised Land, but He would give it to them slowly so that the land would be healthy, and they would be strong enough to possess it.
What we consider trials are often strength-building exercises God gives us to prepare us to not be ruined by the blessings He has in store for us. “Little by little” isn’t about God being incapable; it is about the timing being right.
Matthew 4:4 #Biblebites
