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

Answered in 5 sources

The Bible teaches that we should not despise the day of small things, as God often uses the small and insignificant to accomplish His great purposes.

In Zechariah 4:10, the Scripture specifically states, 'For who hath despised the day of small things?' This reflects the biblical truth that God often begins His great works with what seems small and insignificant. The rebuilding of the temple after the Babylonian captivity appeared trivial to many, yet it was part of God's sovereign plan. This is evident when we observe throughout Scripture that God raises up leaders and movements from humble beginnings, such as Abraham, Moses, and even our Savior, Jesus Christ, whose ministry began with a small group of disciples. Thus, the day of small things serves as a reminder for us to trust in God’s methods and timing, acknowledging that His work is not about outward appearances but about His divine purpose.
