Good Morning Working One!

Don’t Despise Your Small Beginnings, Embrace It!

Zechariah 4:10 (NLT)~ “Do not despise these small beginnings, for the Lord rejoices to see the work begin, to see the plumb line in Zerubbabel’s hand.”

What is a plumb line?  It is a cord with a non-magnetic weight attached to one end, when the cord is held in a certain way, the weight can dangle freely. Painters and carpenters use a plumb line to keep their work straight.  A plumb line doesn’t alter or shift with the impulses of the worker, it remains true horizontally and vertically!

Again, I say don’t despise the small things that you have right now! For it is more than you can see, for God will reward you when you show faithfulness in the small things! It does not matter what man says to you, it’s what God says that matter! Learn to ignore the mockers and give your small thing to God and watch what He does with it. He is the greatest mathematician and multiplier ever, He took five loaves of bread and two fishes and fed five thousand men, and this number does not include the women and children, everybody ate, plus there was twelve baskets left over, and we know that He is no respecter of person, He did it then and He can do it Now! (Matthew 14:16-21)!

Jesus Christ is the Builder, and He laid a stone in Zion,  a tested stone, The Cornerstone, and you need this to make sure that your foundation and work is secure and sure! As the Kingdom of God is built, He is making sure that it is perfect, there will be no crookedness in the Kingdom of Heaven (Isaiah 28:16-17)!

As you lay before The Cornerstone, He will make sure that you are building the right way, your ministry, your career, and your business, whoever or whatever it is, and sometimes there may only be one or two with you, but give everything that God gave you, be it two or five thousand, don’t short them of what God is saying, because when you lay it down at His Feet, He will make sure it’s straight! Again, I say don’t despise the days of small beginnings!

This vision that Zechariah had was to encourage him, that better days were coming, and that God was pleased with the work that was being done to rebuild temple. I know that you have some things that need to be rebuilt, repaired or replaced, whatever it is don’t despise it today! I know you may think that your efforts are small, but God is excited to see you beginning to do His work. And when you include Him in the process, His Presence, Provision and Protection is there along with His Wisdom and Power, multiplying and growing your small thing into a Mighty Thing for His Glory, He will see it to completion, that’s a promise you can trust (Philippians 1:6)!

God loves your baby steps! Today, be patient with yourself and don’t lose hope! Wait on God! Everything will be done in His perfect timing; it’s not your job to force it, but to walk in it and rejoice!

Let’s Pray:
Father Thank You! Father, Thank You for being my Chief Cornerstone, and for perfecting Your work in me, that Your Perfect Will, will be done! Father, I am ready to do what You have called me to do, for nothing is too small, I will be obedient and do what You say. Father, help me to not be scared or fearful, but to be fearless, bold and faithful! Father, help me not to get restless or anxious while I am working unto You! Father, fill me with Your that Holy Spirit and empower me to have discernment and recognize Your Hand at work in my life in all things! Father, I want to be ready and willing, no matter the size of the task, even when it’s small let me have faith and trust in knowing that You are Sovereign in all Your Ways and that Your plan for my life is greater than I can comprehend, for Your Will, will be done on earth and in my life as it is in Heaven! In Christ Jesus Name. Amen!
