In Zechariah 4:6-10a, God speaks to Zerubbabel, a discouraged leader to continue on in the work God called him to, for God would see to it he finished the work. The same God encourages us today, in the work of prayer.
“Then he answered and spake unto me, saying, This is the word of the LORD unto Zerubbabel, saying, Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the LORD of hosts. Who art thou, O great mountain? before Zerubbabel thou shalt become a plain: and he shall bring forth the headstone thereof with shoutings, crying, Grace, grace unto it. Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, the hands of Zerubbabel have laid the foundation of this house; his hands shall also finish it; and thou shalt know that the LORD of hosts hath sent me unto you. For who hath despised the day of small things?”
Let’s not be discouraged by the overwhelming destruction plaguing our nation, and the relatively small amount of change we see happening. As God told Zerubbabel, His ways usually begin with “small things.”
