Do not despise these small beginnings, for the Lord rejoices to see the work begin, to see the plumb line in Zerubbabel’s hand.” Zechariah 4:10
Any new project has a beginning. Some people embrace it and take on the challenge with zeal, while others grumble and complain because they prefer the end result and sometimes are less patient to see through the progress. The Lord laid this scripture on my heart one day and it is one of my absolute favorites for He is pleased when we display a good attitude in all times, in all seasons, in all days because there will always be the beginnings, the middles and the endings to everything. So let's embrace whatever place we are in. If you have just started a new job, new family, new home project, new ministry and are frustrated in the newness of it, take heart and take heed to the Lord's words of wisdom in Zechariah 4:10 for let's not despise the humble beginnings on our way to something great. But instead let us embrace the moments of now, for we are not where we once were and not yet where we want to be. To know He rejoices in us is enough for me for everything we do should be in His name, in His honor, for His glory.
