“The hands of Zerubbabel Have laid the foundation of this temple; His hands shall also finish it. Then you will know That the Lord of hosts has sent Me to you. 10For who has despised the day of small things? For these seven rejoice to see The plumb line in the hand of Zerubbabel. They are the eyes of the Lord, Which scan to and fro throughout the whole earth.” Zechariah 4:9-10 NKJV
In spite of much opposition Zerubbabel would complete the temple and would bring forth exclamations of grace and praise because of its beauty. Those people who mocked the possibility of God doing some great work through Zerubbabel would be amazed that something that was great, is now great and mighty.
Let me say that, you may not be successful at the moment, but praise God, don't sulk or want to give up and walk away. Remember, God can do amazing things and make them a great piece of work. Take for instance, Walt Disney, he turned his small enterprise into a massive one and it all began with a mouse called Mickey.
Don't allow yourself to become discouraged by small things, God doesn't worry about size and, what's more, nether did David, remember? He silenced Goliath, that giant of a man, and all he had was a stone and a sling. You may have a dream to accomplish something but you don't know how this could be. You may not have the resources - don't worry about that, God has more than the world could ever have and, He's not tight with it either. If what you have in mind is of God, give it to Him and allow Him to show you how it is done.
You're living in the day of small things or small beginnings but, they're going to get better day by day. God values the initiation of the work and the faithfulness of the worker - that's you and if He has called you for something, you are precious to Him and He won't let you down. He won't do it all for you but, He will provide what you need and openings to do this in the right place.
God is a big God, but occasionally we feel so weak. Remember 'Let the weak say "I am strong" Joel 3:10. Don't ever recognise yourself as being weak, you're 'weak that has had a tweak and now you are strong'.
Therefore, what is God saying to you at this time? Do you need to get on with such things? Or are you waiting for further confirmation? Don't rush things but equally, don't wait too long. Get God's direction and do what He says.
Lord Jesus, I have sinned. I ask you to forgive me and be my Lord and Saviour. Please come into my heart, fill me with Your Spirit and give me a brand new start today. In Jesus' Name. Amen
