God designed the little things just like He designed the big ones and He tells us not to despise the day of small things, of small beginnings. God is interested in all the small details of our lives as well as the big events. Like when Jesus noticed the widow who gave what she had, a penny, like when we make some progress in controlling our temper, or being more patient, God notices because it means our fruit is growing and He’s pleased.
To despise something means to undervalue it and sometimes we even do that with our own efforts, or someone else might have undervalued us. Maybe you’ve had an idea, or started a project, or a business, or you’ve started training in some way, or maybe you’ve started reading the bible or praying more and you think you’ve made such small progress. Well God says don’t undervalue where you’re at with it all, don’t despise your small beginnings. He will make it flourish.😊
I’ve had to do that with my Blog. I started with a handful of kind people reading it and so often I nearly gave up but gradually God has been increasing it, little by little. Listen to what He says to each one of us … Job 8 :7 (NKJV) Though your beginning was small, Yet your latter end would increase abundantly. Here’s a different translation saying the same thing….Job 8:7 (NLT) And though you started with little, you will end with much.
Have you started something with little or want to start something but think you don’t have enough of whatever you need? If so, can I encourage you, no matter what path you have started on, and even if you see no immediate progress, don’t ever give up. Keep taking another step. Don’t undervalue where you’re at right now but know that God is working behind the scenes bringing His promises to pass and working His purposes out as we stay in faith.
Have a very blessed weekend.x
