i would like to share this..
Exo 23:27-33
(27) I will send my fear before thee, and will destroy all the people to whom thou shalt come, and I will make all thine enemies turn their backs unto thee.(28) And I will send hornets before thee, which shall drive out the Hivite, the Canaanite, and the Hittite, from before thee.(29) I will not drive them out from before thee in one year; lest the land become desolate, and the beast of the field multiply against thee.(30) By little and little I will drive them out from before thee, until thou be increased, and inherit the land.(31) And I will set thy bounds from the Red sea even unto the sea of the Philistines, and from the desert unto the river: for I will deliver the inhabitants of the land into your hand; and thou shalt drive them out before thee.(32) Thou shalt make no covenant with them, nor with their gods.(33) They shall not dwell in thy land, lest they make thee sin against me: for if thou serve their gods, it will surely be a snare unto thee. (end of chapter)
i was watching a message and his text was 27-28. i read this and got an awesome excitement knowing that God never intended the Israelites to fight. he can use the smallest (hornets) and use it to drive away your biggest adversary. When David stood in front of goliath (very much might of been 10+ feet tall) he used a stone to bring him down and God knew exactly where it should hit.
The reason i added the rest of the scripture (27-end of chapter) is simply because when reading it i get a sense of what it is like to step in to your calling, your purpose, your destiny, your future. its true he will send hornets before you OR he may simply use fear to run the enemy away. the the great revelation is hidden when God simply tells them that he wont do it in one day or one hour, he will do it when they are big enough to take it and make use of it. as a young man in Christ i often ponder about why i am here, my purpose and MY destiny. Exo 23 truly shows me that as long as i grow in him, as long as i trust in him i will truly be able to grow and possess my full promise in Jesus Christ little by little!!
until next time,
