Exo 23:29 “I will not drive them out from before you in one year, lest the land become desolate and the beast of the field become too numerous for you.
Exo 23:30 “Little by little I will drive them out from before you, until you have increased, and you inherit the land.
This is part of the promise given by God to the Israelites as they commenced their journey to the promised land. The land was already occupied by other tribes. Although God had and still has the capacity to clear the occupants from the land once and for all, he was not going to do so.
If he did so, the land would become desolate and wild animals would be too numerous for them. Instead, he was going to drive them out before them little by little until they had increased enough to take possession of the whole land.
Success is not a destination but a journey. There is a danger of reaching the ‘peak’ minus the capacity to remain there – “The land will become desolate and the wild animals too numerous for you”.
God has been and will continue giving us success. “Little by little” we will find ourselves at the helm.
