Starting Big

Start Big With Small Things

But Jesus said to them, “They do not need to go away. You give them something to eat.” And they said to Him, “We have here only five loaves and two fish.”  He said, “Bring them here to Me.”
- Matthew 14:16-18 (NKJV)
 

One of the things that we must do as we pursue greatness is to offer up whatever skill, ability, talent or gift we have to the Lord and trust Him to bless and multiply it.

Stop waiting for “everything to fall in place”.

What do you have right now? Offer it to God. Use whatever ‘little’ ability you have immediately. Time has a way of running away from us. So we must all decide now to bring out our abilities no matter how ‘ordinary’ they seem.

Consider Job 8:7- Though your beginning was small, Yet your latter end would increase abundantly.

There is nothing wrong with starting small, but there is a lot wrong with not starting at all.

Stop explaining your dreams away, Stop giving yourself reasons to justify laziness, procrastination, lethargy and complacency. Get up and get going with the little in your hand.

Take that job, write that exam, start that business, write that book, make those plans now, submit that proposal, record that song…don’t wait till every resource is available.

Trust God and step out in faith and see what God will do with your 5 loaves of bread and 2 fish. (Take time and study this story.)

Do not forget that the ‘little’ you have was given by God and He knows how to increase it (1 Corinthians 3:6- I planted, Apollos watered, but God gave the increase.)
