Commit to Memory: “Though thy beginning was small, yet thy latter end should greatly increase.” (Job 8:7 KJV)
Beloved, the Lord is saying to you this day: “Despise not the days of little beginnings”. No matter your little beginnings, when the little work your hand has started and find doing is done in faithfulness, when the work is done in faith by God’s Spirit- there are not only resources to begin the work, but also He supplies resources and make situations suitable to finish the work so that there will be a transition to greatness and a glorious end. Hallelujah.
God is the One who finishes what he orchestrates you to start especially if you are obedient to start in faith. When He smells faithfulness in your little and humble beginnings- he will cause you to see the invisible and birth the impossible in, with and through your life. So here comes the big question? Have you despised the day of small things? God has a wonderful purpose and reason for little beginnings. It helps you to remember that God is faithful to his promises, to start and finish what He started in your life. So start writing that song, compile that album, write that first book and others will follow, start that business, start that ministry etc. Launch into the deep.
What this means is that stop waiting until everything you need to start that project is totally available before you launch into the deep. No, God wants you to start in faith by starting small. Until you start in faith, you never see the finger, face and hand of God behind your affairs.
The days of little beginnings are not a mistake nor are they punishment; they are priceless days and seasons of shaping and preparation never to be despised. That is why satan is constantly fighting our visions. He is against you starting small. Why? Satan fears the days of small things and little beginnings in our lives because he sees the great things God does in them and brings out of them from the experience he has of those God started little with and are now big. May he transit your little and simile humble beginnings to an enviable great end.
Reflection: When God is at the epicenter of your life, when He is behind you- you will go beyond.
