Little by little God drove out Israel’s enemies from the Promised Land.

He did this for two reasons:
+So the land would not become desolate with no one to take care of it.
+So the Israelites would “become fruitful and take possession of the land.”  Exodus 23:29-30

The LORD God of the Holy Bible leads His children step by step into our circumstances.

A baby takes a first step and many times falls on their well-padded seat.  A baby is encouraged to get up and try again.

Do you find that you are like that child taking a first step into circumstances not of your choosing?  Sometimes we are thrust into our circumstances and we flounder.  But God is patient… and He knows how to help us – on a day to day basis.
Other times, the changes are subtle and we do not recognize the progression of circumstances until, one day, we look back and see how we have arrived to where we are today.

We have a good, good Father who gave His only begotten Son for us.

Little by little our God gives us direction for the next step.  Sometimes the learning curve is huge!  Other times the new circumstances are gentle and we gradually learn to adjust to God’s circumstances for us.

Isn’t it wonderful that God’s children are seen and treated as individuals by our God?!!!

(NASB) 1 John 2:28 “Now, little children, abide in Him, so that when He appears, we may have confidence and not shrink away from Him in shame at His coming.”

Little by little, trust Him for the next step,

and the one after that,

and the one after that…
