Hope In 60 seconds – When You Start Small

Don’t overlook the small things, thinking they don’t matter. Your profit is small, your progress is slow, your vision is accepted by a few. God often starts with the small to bring about something special. The Bible says, “Do not despise these small beginnings, for the Lord rejoices to see the work begin” (Zechariah 4:10 NLT). A single seed grows into a tree. A kind word can change a life. One prayer can open the door to a miracle. Change doesn’t usually happen overnight—it begins step by step, choice by choice, day by day. So don’t be discouraged if your progress feels tiny. The Bible tells a story of thousands listening to Jesus. Dinner was soon but there were no fast-food restaurants nor supermarkets to feed the multitude. Jesus took what little food there was – some bread and fish, then He looked to heaven and gave thanks and incredibly the food multiplied and fed the thousands. With God, small beginnings are the very thing He uses to create big, lasting change.
