What does the Bible say about the importance of small beginnings?
Answered in 1 source
The Bible teaches that small beginnings should not be despised, as they often lead to greater things through God's providence.
In Zechariah 4:10, we are reminded that 'who hath despised the day of small things?' This verse emphasizes that God often works through small, seemingly insignificant beginnings. Just as Israel experienced disappointment with the smaller Second Temple compared to Solomon's, we might underestimate the small beginnings in our own lives. However, these days, while small, are essential in laying the foundation for something glorious that God is shaping, much like how He built the church upon the foundation of Christ. Our faithfulness in these 'small things' can lead to profound impacts, testifying to God's overarching plan.
