In this passage, God reassures the Israelites that He will assist them in taking possession of the Promised Land. However, He emphasizes that this will be a gradual process. The reason for this gradual approach is practical: removing all the nations at once could lead to an overpopulation of wild animals, which would create a new set of problems for the Israelites. This teaches an important lesson about the nature of divine intervention and human progress. Often, God works in our lives in incremental steps, allowing us to handle changes and challenges at a pace we can manage. This approach helps us to develop resilience and adaptability. By trusting in God's timing and wisdom, we can face life's obstacles with patience and confidence, knowing that each step is part of a larger plan. The gradual conquest of the land also reflects a broader spiritual truth: growth and transformation often require time and perseverance, and rushing the process can lead to unforeseen consequences.
The Lord your God will drive out those nations before you, little by little. You will not be allowed to eliminate them all at once, or the wild animals will multiply around you.
