Zechariah 4:10

For who hath despised the day of small things......

For some weeks now I have been thinking of this passage...

Everything starts so often with the smallest of things.

Sometimes we are tempted to look at others and their ministries.

We want something to happen now.

Sometimes we can be looking in the wrong place

when it is under our noses.

Sometimes we are looking for the right thing at the wrong time

Sometimes we are looking for something large

and it can be something(to us) quite small.

We can think a challenge is either too big or too small.

As long as we claim or control it, the vision will always be limited..

Think about it?

But the moment we make whatever we have large or small available to

 the master he will do whatever he needs to do with it!

Not our needs but his. Often we expect something when our master is

working his vision through and around us

Often his plan includes waiting.  God is in a way working backwards.

Working backwards you say?  Well he sees the end as well as the beginning.

His ways are not our ways

Often the disciples were on what appeared to them a well known path.

Jesus would sometimes frustratingly say 'Let's go over to the other side '

Mark 4;35

But Lord we know the way, we've often been this way! It's a recognised route!

Have we enough provision to go the other way?

They were with the master had they forgotten already?

But you see on the changed route in obedience to him we can often learn

much more about ourselves and others on the way!

If things seem not to be going in a direct route don't assume or think

you're necessarily on the wrong route! Not in Gods plan anyway

Your'e often just where he wants you in all your weakness and courage.

Dear Lord I pray for myself and others that I will recieve with thankfulness

that which comes upon me.  Knowing that all things are filtered through

Gods love and compassion towards us....
