Little by Little

Scripture:

“Little by little I will drive them out from before you, until you have increased, and you inherit the land.”
‭‭Exodus‬ ‭23:30‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

Observation:

God is speaking here to the people of Israel.  He told them they would inherit the promised land, but that He wouldn’t give them the whole thing at once because the wild animals would take over before they inhabited it.  Rather, God said, “little by little” He would give them the land.  Sometimes God gives us His blessings little by little.

Application:

I love to see quick fruit.  I love it when God does an unbelievable work and we see a quick work.  I love to see the church grow quickly and impact its region in a short time.  God tends to work with His people little by little.  I need to learn to be okay with little by little.  I have big vision and want to see God’s kingdom extended all over the earth.  God wants it as well, but I have to realize that God will often work little by little because we are not able to handle the capacity He is bestowing on us yet.  I need to trust God that His plan is happening little by little.

Prayer:

Lord, help me be okay with little by little.  Help me to be faithful and do what You say whether I see what I consider to be good and quick results or not.  Teach me not to compare with others, but to fulfill Your calling on my life.  Let me see the little by little blessings and keep moving forward.

Your Son,
Jeff
