Small But Mighty

Impatience is something we all deal with to an extent. We start something new and maybe a little different than we’ve done in the past, but it seems to be moving slow as molasses. We become impatient with the speed of the process.


Those seemingly small beginnings to this new “thing” you’ve created for yourself has the potential to be “huge” with patience and care. Don’t be so hard on yourself.


Remember the scripture in James 3:4, “Look also at ships: although they are so large and are driven by fierce winds, they are turned by a very small rudder wherever the pilot desires.” It takes that “small rudder” to help direct the path of the mighty ship. The pilot doesn’t refuse to guide the ship because the rudder is so small. Instead, he uses it for his journey.


Okay, so your beginning is small, don’t worry about that. Stay focused on your journey and watch it grow.


Zechariah 4:10a NLT

[10 a] Do not despise these small beginnings, for the LORD rejoices to see the work begin… #paulaandthebible #helpforyourdailywalk
