Think about the ants again. How long does it take them to prepare? How much food they gather every day? Not much, I guess, but because they do little they can do daily, they are able to gather enough to be prepared for the next phase of life. Begin, no matter how small. An oak tree started out as an acorn, and a forest started out as a single tree.
John F.Kennedy, in his inaugural address about his plans for the American people said, “…All this will not be finished in the first one hundred days. Nor will it be finished in the first one thousand days, nor in the life of this administration, nor even perhaps in our lifetime on this planet. But let us begin…” Let us begin! Winning starts with beginning.
“Despise not this small beginning, for the eyes of the Lord rejoice to see the work begin...” ZECH 4:10
God is excited to see you begin your dream. He is excited to watch you take your first step, whether that’s writing down the title of your new book, registering for an examination, or sending in your proposal. Whatever your dream, “the eyes of the Lord rejoice to see it begin.” Begin, no matter how small.
Small beginnings do not mean small destinies. They are great destines that need time to mature. Give your dream the opportunity of taking a life of its own by giving birth to it through beginning. God is waiting for you to begin. He is waiting for you like He waited for the four lepers, waiting for you to take the first step so that He can enter onto the scene on your behalf. Therefore, begin, no matter how small!
