In life, small beginnings often go unnoticed or undervalued, yet they hold immense potential. Zechariah 4:10 reminds us that God rejoices in these small efforts, seeing their significance and the greatness they can lead to. The Israelites, upon returning from exile, faced the monumental task of rebuilding the temple. Despite the challenges, they laid the foundation and worshiped God, teaching us the importance of celebrating even the smallest progress. By embracing small beginnings, we align ourselves with God's perspective, trusting that He will use our efforts for His glory.
"For who has despised the day of small things? These seven will be glad when they see the plumb line in the hand of Zerubbabel—these are the eyes of the Lord which range to and fro throughout the earth." (Zechariah 4:10, ESV)
Reflection: What small beginning in your life can you celebrate today, trusting that God sees its potential for greatness?
