Brian came up to me though, and gave me this little laminated card that he had meant to give me on Wednesday at our meeting. Thought it was a wee thing for me. Here's what it said:
"For who hath despised the day of small things?"
Zechariah 4v10 (KJV)
Zechariah 4v10 (KJV)
'Everything big starts with something small; all God needs is something to start with! Have you ever noticed what the disciples said to Jesus just before He feed the 5,000? Listen: "There is a lad here, which hath five barley loaves, and two small fishes; but what are they among so many?" (John 6v9 KLV). Is that how you feel today? The challenge is too big and you are too small. Notice, the miracle of provision only began when they took what they ahd and put it into the Master's hands. As long as you try to claim or control it, it will always be limited. But the moment you make what you have available to God, it will begin to multiply. Imagine, just a boy's lunch; all God needs is something to start with. The prophet Zechariah wrote, "Do not despise this small beginning, for the eyes of the Lord rejoice to see the work begin..." (Zechariah 4v10 TLB). Do not be afraid to take small steps. Just make them steps of faith and God will walk with you.
Jesus said, "... I will build my church ..." (Matthew 16v18 KJV). Build it with what? Twelve flawed people just like you. But when He poured Himself into them He was so concentrated in them, that if just two of them got together they could turn any town upside down. "But I have so many weaknesses", you say. We all come to the Lord damaged and in need of repair. The good news is, you can be strong in certain areas and struggling in others, yet God will still use you.'
Think that really is a word from God for me! Thanks Brian! Thank you Jesus!
