Zechariah 4:6-10
"This is the word of the LORD to Zerubbabel:
‘Not by might nor by power, but by my Spirit, says the Lord Almighty.
“What are you, mighty mountain?
Before Zerubbabel you will become level ground. Then he will bring out the capstone to shouts of 'God bless it! God bless it!'"
Then the word of the LORD came to me:
The hands of Zerubbabel have laid the foundation of this temple; his hands will also complete it. Then you will know that the LORD Almighty has sent me to you.
“Who dares despise the day of small things, since the seven eyes of the LORD that range throughout the earth will rejoice when they see the chosen capstone in the hand of Zerubbabel?"
This passage has really resonated with us in these early days of 2025 as infrastructure and early construction stages are beginning.
There comes a time in virtually all of our lives when the Lord lays something on our hearts. A promise is given. A dream is placed on our minds. A vision is set before our eyes. We begin. We lay the foundation-but then the difficulties come. As the months and years pass by, we say, "It's not going to happen." And our hearts sink.
But, just as He said to Zerubbabel, the Lord would say to us, "I am going to allow the hands that laid the foundation to finish the work. You are going to bring the capstone-the finishing piece
-with shouts of grace at the end. It's all by My grace. So don't despise the days of small things, of small beginnings.
Therefore we don't give up, we stay faithful and walk with patience as we remember that it is not by our might but by the Spirit of the Lord.
And we stay faithful in the day to day small steps of progress and trust the Lord to bring it to completion.
