“Do not despise these small beginnings, for the Lord rejoices to see the work begin, to see the plumb line in Zerubbabel’s hand.” (Zechariah 4:10)
Zerubbabel had laid the foundation for the temple to be rebuilt. Some of the Israelites saw this step as insignificant or even embarrassing. God did not. God rejoiced as the building began.
God is glorified in the small things. Small steps, simple acts of faith, small seeds. Dr. Dennis Kinlaw, former president of Asbury College, said, “God never does anything in a big way that He doesn’t first do in a small way.” How might God want to partner with you in something small today?
Pray that you’ll rejoice in the small things today. Ask God for a vision of the beauty of small things, taking the first step, initiating conversation, smiling, hugging, listening.
