IT’S O.K. TO START
SMALL
For most people who
live in 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 one 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 horse. 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 (and take action on) the Word of
faith which mobilizes 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 a PRODUCTIVE
PARTNERSHIP with the KING
OF KINGS!
Sisters and brothers, be continually blessed, and please
(above all else) MAKE SURE YOU ARE READY TO MEET OUR SOON COMING KING.
Maranatha!
