Devotionals - Five minutes at the pump

Fuel-stop devotionals.

Written to be read in the time it takes to fill two tanks. A new one every day, drawn from a year's worth of readings — scripture, a thought to chew on, and a prayer.

The Day of Small ThingsZechariah 4:10
No. 171
Who dares despise the day of small things?Zechariah 4:10

God is in the small things. The beginning of the temple reconstruction looked embarrassingly small — a pile of rubble and a handful of workers. But God said: don't despise this. Small faithful beginnings are how great things start.

Reflect

What small, faithful thing are you doing right now that feels insignificant? What if it's the foundation for something much larger?

Prayer

Lord, help me not despise the small beginnings. Faithful in little, faithful in much. I trust You with the small today. Amen.
