Little Beginnings II

‘He tells us everything over and over— one line at a time, one line at a time, a little here, and a little there!’ Isa.28:10

The days of little beginnings are not days of lazy beginnings. The Bible says, ‘the Lord rejoices to see the work begin’. The foundation of every project is the most important part. God wants to teach you the little things that lead to establishment. Pay attention. ‘…one line at a time, one line at a time, a little here, and a little there’. Excusing laziness at your foundational stage will only lead to lack. Little beginnings can also be equated to the place of waiting perhaps for the next big thing or for the doors to open unto you. God has placed you close to married people so that He can birth a desire in you. When you do not desire change, you will not see the need to grow or strive for better. Pay attention, let God birth the right desire in you and then you run with it. Staying where God has put you does not mean having a closed mind. Stay there but desire and prepare for the greatness and He will take you to it. Meditate on what God says concerning you and God will take you from the field to the throne. ‘Study this Book of Instruction continually. Meditate on it day and night so you will be sure to obey everything written in it. Only then will you prosper and succeed in all you do’ Josh.1:8. In other words, the only way to success is in the Living Word. Submit your desire for greatness to the Holy Spirit so that you do not become ruled by them. Desire can easily turn to idolatry. God has to be your number one focus. His Words must rule your thoughts. Then and only then will you get to discover that God also desires prosperity for you but not at the cost of your soul [3 John 1:2 KJV]. God cares more for your ‘here-after’ than your ‘here-and-now’. Even God calls it ‘beginnings’ because His plans for you do not end with what you can see now. You have identified where you want to be, desire it and let the Holy Spirit establish it. The Holy Spirit is here to help you desire right and achieve more because God desires the best for us.

Prayer: Holy Spirit, I ask that You breathe over me and birth a desire in me for the greatness that God has planned for me. Help me keep my focus and make God priority always, in Jesus Name.
