Despise Not The Call

Front Lines - Despise Not the Call

Zechariah 4:10 NLT

"Do not despise these small beginnings, for the Lord rejoices to see the work begin..."

It's easy to underestimate the impact of our small beginnings, but God delights in the initiation of His work. The importance of not despising the call, even when faced with challenges, and trusting that God can work wonders with the little we have cannot be underestimated.

God's ways often challenge our understanding. In moments of doubt, we may question how a small and seemingly insignificant start can lead to a significant impact. However, the story of Gideon and the trimming down of his army serves as a powerful reminder that God works with surrendered hearts, not numbers.

Even in the face of adversity, Gideon's small army became a powerful force. Similarly, we must not despise our current circumstances but trust that God can bring victory, transformation, and impact with what may seem small and insignificant.

Closing Prayer:
Heavenly Father, in our moments of doubt and challenges, help us not to despise the call and the small beginnings. You rejoice in the work that begins, no matter how modest. Teach us to trust in Your ability to work wonders with what may seem insignificant. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
