Vision vs. Task

God promised Abraham he would become a father of many nations - but that didn't mean he was meant to spend most of his time working directly on that!

Joshua was told to go in and possess the land - but that didn't mean continuous warfare was what God desired for Israel for all generations.

Vision versus task. If we confuse the two, it can cause problems such as frustration or manipulation.

What God promises you He is ultimately going to do, and what you are meant to do in the meantime, might not be exactly the same.

Always required are godliness, patience, serving others, esteeming others better than ourselves -  horror and darkness might even come upon us as we realise there might come undesirable, temporary excursions off the easy path, either due to our own doing or others'.
