Small Beginnings

‘Well done, my good servant!’ his master replied. ‘Because you have been trustworthy in a very small matter, take charge of ten cities.’ – Luke 19:17 (NIV)

Has God called you to do something but you have delayed getting started because it seems insignificant?

Many times we sit on the side lines waiting for God to give us a miraculous breakthrough…one that would get others to stand at attention.

We are waiting on God to throw us a steak when He is only throwing us a bone. Due to the fact that it is not something of great magnitude, we discount it and choose to do nothing.

Don’t despise small beginnings. Most success stories start out with small beginnings. As we gnaw on the bone that God has thrown us, it is where we cut our teeth to be able to handle the steak. If He gave us the steak without the maturation process, we would not be able to properly break down the steak in order to digest it.

While God is still speaking, do not miss out on the opportunity or else it may pass you by. It is time to put the assignment God has given you into action. Before you proceed, be aware that this assignment may not make sense to those around you.

Allow God’s prompting to be your encouragement to do it anyway. You owe your allegiance to the One and Only who has placed the assignment within you at the time you were formed.

Prayer:
Lord, I thank You for Your sovereignty as You give me what I need and not what I want. I thank You that You use small beginnings to my benefit as my training ground in preparation for the larger assignments.
