Not for thy righteousness, or for the uprightness of thine heart, dost thou go to possess their land: but for the wickedness of these nations the LORD thy God doth drive them out from before thee, and that he may perform the word which the LORD sware unto thy fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.(KJV) (Deuteronomy 9:5)
We see that Israel is not being given the land of Canaan because of her godliness, but because of the ungodliness of Canaanite's. He also says HE would give it to them to confirm the oath The Lord swore to their patriarchs Abraham, Isaac, Jacob. Sometimes our battles are won not coz of our righteousness or our uprightness ( We like Israelites might act stiff necked!) but because of HIS faithfulness to the promise he made to us. If there is any praise if there is any thing to boast about let it be that Jesus Christ is working on our behalf. Father God we can't boast about our love for you coz we fail daily but thank you Master we stand n hold our head up high coz your love for us never fails
