By nature I am an impatient man. I want my research program to grow quickly; I want to be restored quickly on this sabbatical; I want my computer to load quickly... you get the point. God, in His infinite wisdom knows that I need to grow a little at a time. He tells Israel that when they occupy the promised land he will drive out their enemies a little at a time while they "ramp up":
Little by little I will drive them out before you, until you have increased enough to take possession of the land.
- Exodus 23:30
I am realizing that this restoration process will take time. Little by little God will drive out my pathological behaviors until I have increased enough in Jesus to take possession of the land.
