I have hidden Thy word in my heart.

Deuteronomy 7. “And the Lord your God will drive out those nations before you little by little; you will be unable to destroy them at once, lest the beasts of the field become too numerous for you. But the Lord your God will deliver them over to you, and will inflict defeat upon them until they are destroyed. And He will deliver their kings into your hand, and you will destroy their name from under heaven; no one shall be able to stand against you until you have destroyed them” (Verses 22-24). I (and I am sure you, too) want everything, NOW. What I like about these verses is that  they display the infinite wisdom of God. He didn’t give the promise land to Israel all at once, but they gained it little by little. Each victory solidifying the strength and power of the God they serve and follow. The same holds true for us. God gifts us with one small victory at a time growing our faith and trust in Him.
