Do Not Despise Small Beginnings

Do not despise small beginnings - Monday 24  August In this episode, Bruce reflects on Zechariah 4:6–10 and the words, “Do not despise the day of small things.”The people of Israel were rebuilding the temple after exile, but the beginning seemed small compared with what had been lost. God reminds them that the work will not be accomplished by human strength alone: “Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit.”Bruce reminds us that God often begins with what looks small: a prayer, a conversation, an act of kindness, a quiet step of obedience, or a faithful beginning that no one else notices.This devotional invites you to stop measuring your life only by visible results and to trust that God can do far more with small acts of faithfulness than you can presently see.
