The world is obsessed with being "better" and "bigger" than the next person. And the sad thing is that we are willing to step all over other people in order to get ahead of others. If we are going to begin afresh this year (or week/day) we need to recognise that there is nothing wrong with humble beginnings.
God spoke through Job when he confirmed that although our beginnings may be small and insignificant, they will lead to an amazing future.
Job 8:5-7 – But if you will
seek God earnestly
and plead with the Almighty,
6 if you are pure and upright,
even now he will rouse himself on your behalf
and restore you to your prosperous state.
7 Your beginnings will seem humble,
so prosperous will your future be.
and plead with the Almighty,
6 if you are pure and upright,
even now he will rouse himself on your behalf
and restore you to your prosperous state.
7 Your beginnings will seem humble,
so prosperous will your future be.
So if you are considering starting something today, don't be put off my "instant results." Trust in the power of God to turn our humble beginnings into great things.
"God
wants us to know that life is a series of beginnings, not endings. Just
as graduations are not terminations, but commencements." -Bernie Siegel
