IT’S O.K. TO START SMALL
For the people who live in more
industrialized nations, navigating daily tasks would seem quite difficult
without the use of motor vehicles. Over
the passage of time, they have proven to be much more than a convenience. Although the use of fossil fuels is a contemporary
challenge to maintaining a healthy global environment, automobiles have
benefited us in ways that are incalculable.
But this wasn’t always the
case. History records that the very
first “horseless carriage” was built way back in 1769 by a Frenchman named
Nicholas-Joseph Cugnot. It was a
gigantic three-wheeled, steam-powered carriage, which traveled along at the ‘lightning
fast speed’ of 1 kilometer per hour.
At that time, most people could not perceive any benefit in
Cugnot’s horseless carriage. It was
extremely expensive, terribly noisy, and so slow that it couldn’t even match
the pace of the most worn out nag. Nevertheless, that first horseless carriage was
the seed invention of a transportation revolution.
The
Word of God challenges us with a question that is entirely apropos: “Who has
despised the day of SMALL THINGS?”
(Zechariah 4:10, NKJV)
Sometimes we simply need to
remind ourselves that it’s alright to start out small. And though our ideas or visions may seem worthless
or absurd to onlookers, just wait! Our
GOD, the dispenser of “witty inventions,” is simply waiting to see if we have sufficient
courage to speak the Word of faith over our dreams, our visions and our future.
(Proverbs 8:12 – Romans 10:17 – Hebrews 11:3)
My friend, get up, get moving and
join in productive partnership
with the King of Kings!
