Ex 23:29 I will not drive them out from before you in one year, which would cause the land to become desolate and the wild animals too many for you. 30 I will drive them out from before you gradually, until you have grown in number and can take possession of the land.
Does this remind anyone else of the verse which says, "He will not let you be tempted above that which you are able to bear"? It does me, and it reminds me also that there is a big promise in front of me, the blessings of which I'm not even aware.
The promised land is before you. So are the big, scary looking circumstances, and impossible looking situations. But, God is not going to make you tackle them all at once. In fact, He is going to allow those dwellers to live there so your space does not become empty and have wild animals come in. At the proper time YOU will inhabit your own Canaan land and it will be maintained, and walled and ready for the growth you've experienced in God!
