Small Beginnings Great Endings
Devotional
We live in a culture obsessed with instant success and overnight transformations. Social media shows us highlight reels that make us feel like everyone else is winning while we're still struggling with the basics. But God operates differently - He loves small beginnings. Think about it: Jesus was born in a stable, not a palace. David was a shepherd boy before he became king. Moses had a speech impediment before he became Israel's greatest leader. God doesn't need you to have it all figured out before He can use you powerfully. Maybe you're starting over in your career, taking baby steps in your faith, or rebuilding relationships one conversation at a time. Don't despise these humble beginnings. God sees the potential in what looks insignificant to everyone else. That small act of kindness, that quiet prayer, that first step toward forgiveness - these aren't too small for God to notice or use. He takes our mustard seed faith and grows it into something that moves mountains. Your small beginning today is the foundation for tomorrow's breakthrough. Don't quit because it feels small. Keep planting seeds, keep taking steps, keep believing. God is magnifying your efforts in ways you can't see yet.
Bible Verse
'Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.' - Luke 6:38
Reflection Question
What small step is God asking you to take today that you've been avoiding because it seems insignificant?
Quote
Don't quit on your small beginnings. The Bible said, despise not humble beginnings or small beginnings. God have the ability to take what seems very minute, very small and magnified.
Prayer
Lord, help me to be faithful in small things, knowing that You can multiply my efforts beyond what I can imagine. Give me patience with the process and faith in Your timing. Amen.
