Do not despise these small beginnings. Zechariah 4:10
God delights in taking the insignificant, and making something out of it.
Gideon, took a small army of men, 300 in number, and conquered a huge well equipped, mighty army..
Samson, took the jaw bone of a donkey, a small thing, and slew a thousand Philistines.
David took five small smooth stones, and slew the giant Goliath, who had intimidated thousands!
Time and time again, the Lord God has taken the small things, the things overlooked, the things often mocked and despised, to accomplish His eternal purpose! Never underestimate God’s ability to take even our frailties, failures, and false starts, your small beginnings and turn them to His glory!(via thewordfortheday)

The world we live in treats prayer like a last resort. When things get rough, people pray like it is the very least they could do. But, in reality, prayer is more like the most we can do. Think about it—we’re calling upon the King of kings. We’re bringing our requests before Almighty God. Prayer is ineffably powerful and it shakes foundations and makes mountains crumble. It changes lives and softens hearts. Prayer is not a last resort. It should be a first priority. Because the One we’re praying to is more powerful than any of our human efforts. And He always listens.

Do unto others
As you would have others
Do unto you,
Should be followed by
Doing unto yourself
The same good you have
Done unto others.
Luke 6:31: “Treat others the same way you want them to treat you.”
Matk 12:31: “This is the second (great commandment): You shall (unselfishly) love your neighbor as yourself.”

“We fear rejection and failure, but if you were completely filled with God’s love, you would not care what people thought. We fear the future and circumstances, but if you knew God perfectly, and that he is good and in control, you would trust him. And you wouldn’t be afraid of death because you would know you would be with him forever.”
