139. Little by Little: Understanding God's Expansion Principles
In this episode of Wisdom's Table, I invite you to join me as I delve into a profound revelation I recently experienced during my time with the Lord. We explore the theme of expansion principles in the Bible, particularly focusing on a powerful passage from Exodus 23:29-30.
I begin by sharing the context of this scripture, where God speaks to the Israelites about their journey into the Promised Land, a land filled with challenges but also abundant blessings. God reassures them that He will not drive out their enemies all at once, but rather little by little, to ensure that they are strong enough to take possession of the land without it becoming desolate or overrun by wild animals. This concept of gradual expansion resonates deeply with our modern-day struggles, as we often find ourselves fixated on immediate goals and quick results.
