“Who despises the day of small things? Men will rejoice when they see the plumb line in the hand of Zerubbabel. (These seven are the eyes of the Lord, which range throughout the earth)” Zechariah 4:10.
Has it ever occurred to you that an oak tree of today once started as an acorn? Do you even realize that the man who is six feet tall began as a tiny embryo in a mother’s womb? This is a divine principle. Before anything can be great, it must start small and go through a process within which it grows and expands.
The problem with majority of human beings is that they want to start big. Not only that, by comparing what God gave them to what God gave others, the tendency to look down on what they have increases. But they have forgotten that God gave gifts to everyone according to individual ability.
The truth is, everything God gave to you will first appear as a seed. And every seed has a multiplicative tendency if it is well nurtured, properly invested and productively harnessed. For instance, David’s consistent use of his slingshot multiplied and unraveled more of the potentials of the sling. Amazingly, this small sling brought down the giant.
What the widow of Zarephath considered too small to feed herself and her child eventually fed three people and was sold to pay her debt – 1 Kings 17:14-16. The five loaves of bread and two fishes that seemed insignificant but was made available and used, eventually fed five thousand men excluding the children, leaving behind twelve baskets full of leftover.
Now hear this; be willing to start small, start with whatever you have.Give thanks to God over that little money, gift and materials – whatever you appreciate never depreciates. Start using it as small as it is. Surprisingly, it will begin to multiply with consistent use.
Today, you will encounter God’s miracle. Breakthrough beyond your imagination will be your portion. You are lifted!
