When the nation of Israel ventured further into the promise land, they found enemies which were not so easily defeated.  God had promised them ultimate triumph, but they had to trust Him and His time table.  We find at the end of Judges chapter one, they settled for less than what God had for them because of faithlessness, lack of leadership, and lack of effort.  They had triumph waiting for them,  but as verse 28 tells us in Judges chapter one, they settled for tribute.  Are we doing the same in our lives?
