Narrated devotional
Don’t Despise the Small Beginning
Scripture
For who hath despised the day of small things? for they shall rejoice, and shall see the plummet in the hand of Zerubbabel with those seven; they are the eyes of the LORD, which run to and fro through the whole earth.

Devotional
Small beginnings can feel embarrassing. They can feel slow. They can feel like nothing is happening. But God does not measure progress the way people do. A small beginning is still a beginning. And beginnings matter. One step becomes two. One choice becomes a new pattern. Over time, small faithful actions become real change. Don’t talk down to what God is building in you. Honor the small start. Keep going.
Reflection
What small beginning have I been embarrassed to honor?
Prayer
Lord, forgive me for looking down on small progress. Help me see what You see. Give me patience and steady courage to keep moving forward. Amen.
One Small Step Today
