The Bible For Today

Was just reading Exodus 23:28-30 today and I come across this:

I will send the hornet ahead of you to drive the Hivites, Canaanites and Hittites out of your way. But I will not drive them out in a single year, because the land would become desolate and the wild animals too numerous for you. Little by little I will drive them out before you, until you have increased enough to take possession of the land.

I guess the thought I take away from this is that when God doesn't do it our way, he certainly has a reason, and that reason is definitely in our best interest. Something to think about for today.
