Zechariah 4:10a: “Do not despise these small beginnings, for the Lord rejoices to see the work begin”
“I’m a failure,” Barbara’s son yelled out as he came through the door.
She ran from the kitchen, a spatula in her hand. “Sammy, what’s this all about?”
“I’m going to get an “F” in science. My experiment didn’t work.”
“We’ll ask Dad to help when he gets home. But I want you to know that a person is only a failure if he doesn’t try. You’ve worked hard on your project. You’re not a failure.”
Barbara might not have known it, but she was teaching Sammy a Biblical truth. The verse above demonstrates how God feels about people who put forth effort.
What in your life are you wanting to accomplish? What behavior are you wanting to change? What would you like to learn?
Today, remember that the Lord is pleased when you take that first step.
