Small Things!

The Word of God tells us in Zechariah 4:10- "Do not despise these small beginnings, for the Lord rejoices to see the work begin." God also tells us in Luke 16:10- "He who is faithful in a very little thing is faithful also in much."

For the past few days, I've been pondering: (1) the FACT of "how many times have I missed God in the "small things." (2) How I've been so focused on the "outcome" that I've failed to grab hold of the "process." Thus causing the "process" to take much longer that necessary! (3) How many times have God been right there, but b/c I was busy; I missed Him!

So on this day, I repent because during those times I behaved as if: I have God "figured out." How's that? I believe that when we only look for God in certain areas, ways and etc. we in our sub consciousness think we know how God is going to do it! Thus forgetting: "For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways," declares the LORD." (Isaiah 55:8).

An apple seed develops into an Apple Tree; instead of being focused on when the apples are coming; appreciate God giving the seed, be thankful for the dirt that covers and nurtures the seed, look forward to the 1st bloom; have fun weeding (knowing you're protecting an investment for the future) and don't forget to take time to see God through it ALL (the beginning, the process and the manifestation of the Apple Tree)! God Bless!
