Little by Little

"I will not drive them out from before thee in one year; lest the land become desolate, and the beast of the field multiply against thee.  By little and little I will drive them out from before thee, until thou be increased, and inherit the land."  (Exodus 23:29-30)

God's timing is often a hard thing for me to understand, yet I know deep down, where truth abides, that His ways are perfect. I love how beautifully His word assures us that we aren't the first ones to have to wait, and  the things He does is for our own good.  So, the next time I wonder why things aren't happening right now, or why it seems my prayers are going unheard, I'm going to do my best to remember these verses and trust Him. God knows best how to work the land of my life, and His "little by little" will bring more contentment and joy than my "right now" could ever bring.
