| Don’t Underestimate What You Have |
| THE SCRIPTURE |
| “Do not despise these small beginnings, for the LORD rejoices to see the work begin...” |
| (Zechariah 4:10, NLT) |
| THE WORD |
When David faced Goliath, in the natural, all he had
was a slingshot and five smooth stones. It looked insignificant and
ordinary, nothing special. But God breathed on it, and he defeated
Goliath and became the king of Israel. Sampson was surrounded by a huge
army. Everywhere he looked there were horses, chariots and weapons. All
he had was the jawbone of a donkey. No weapon. No armor. Nobody backing
him up. But he picked up that jawbone, God breathed on it, and he
defeated 1,000 men; the whole army. All Moses had was on ordinary stick,
something he found on the ground. Yet, when he picked it up and held
that rod in the air, the Red Sea supernaturally parted. All John and had were 90 people and an abandoned, rundown feed store,
yet God breathed on them and did something extraordinary.
Today, don’t underestimate what you have. It may look
small and insignificant. Compared to what you’re facing, it seems
impossible; but when God breathes on your life, the odds dramatically
change! Stay open, keep expecting, stay close to Him and watch Him do
something extraordinary in your life!
