He wants to raise our thoughts and desires up out of worldly earthly concerns that drag us down in negative emotional states that rob us of the joy of life and set our feet in a new land or in new states of life – a land flowing with milk (root = fat) and honey (sweetness delight) which is a state of life filled with the pleasure and delight that comes from being reconnected with the source of life itself and being able to consciously receive the constant renewal of His love and wisdom as it flows every more fully into our lives.Yet while the Word teaches us that the Lord’s intention is to have heavenly desires and thoughts ruling within us it also shows us that all is not well with the land. (Exodus 3:17) By means of His Word the Lord makes known to us what His intentions are toward us. If we say we love the Lord but spend very little time in His Word or thinking about spiritual matters what kind of love is that, and similarly if we say we love our neighbour but don’t make any effort to reflect on our thoughts and motives so that we can identify those things that are opposed to heavenly life, and seek that Lord’s assistance to resist them as sins against Him then how can we possibly love our neighbour as we should.

Why has the Lord arranged them in this manner? Kim Myers, tracing ancient Israel's abject bondage to the Egyptians and their subsequent redemption and journey to their great gift (that is, the Promised Land), draws a parallel to the Israel of God. So the understanding part of the mind is designed to hold thoughts and concepts that instruct us how to live a loving life, or how to express the Lord’s love. God's ways from the world's point of view are strange; the world thinks we are nerds. Based upon scripture, it seems like it was more than just a figurative "milk and honey".

I have often noticed that as soon any place is abandoned by good spirits it is occupied by evil ones, but that the evil spirits are driven out of it; and that once they have been driven out it is handed over again to those who are governed by good. Was the land more fertile 3500 years ago?
