What does the Bible say about the day of small things?

Answered in 4 sources

The Bible teaches that we should not despise the day of small beginnings, as God often works in significant ways through seemingly small acts.

In Zechariah 4:10, the prophet asks, 'Who hath despised the day of small things?' This statement emphasizes that even small beginnings hold value in God's plan. Historically, those returning from exile felt the temple they were rebuilding paled in comparison to Solomon's temple. Yet God assured them that this latter house would have greater glory because Christ Himself would minister in it. Thus, the significance of what seems small should not be overlooked, as it can lead to profound outcomes in God’s eternal purpose.
