Walk His Way: Faith to Start
January 28, 2024
Do not despise these small beginnings, for the Lord rejoices to see the work begin…—Zechariah 4:10 NLT
Then I said to them, “You see the trouble we are in: Jerusalem lies in ruins, and its gates have been burned with fire. Come, let us rebuild the wall of Jerusalem, and we will no longer be indisgrace.” I also told them about the gracious hand of my God on me and what the king had said to me. They replied, “Let us start rebuilding.” So they began this good work.—Nehemiah 2:17-18
YOU DON’T HAVE TO HAVE THE FAITH TO FINISH.
YOU JUST HAVE TO HAVE THE FAITH TO START.
But when Sanballat the Horonite, Tobiah the Ammonite official and Geshem the Arab heard about it, they mocked and ridiculed us. “What is this you are doing?” they asked. “Are you rebelling against the king?” I answered them by saying, “The God of heaven will give us success. We his servants will start rebuilding…” —Nehemiah 2:19-20
“Start doing what’s necessary, then what’s possible, then suddenly you are doing the impossible.” - St. Francis of Assisi Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. —Galatians 6:9
