The Best Kept Secret With Liv Dooley

Guarding Your God-Given Purpose without Apology with Nicole O. Salmon


Listen Later

It's time to guard your God-given purpose with intensity. Let's talk about it with Nicole O. Salmon

I've always asked the Lord to do big, impressive stuff in my life. And to be honest, when He doesn't answer the way I want Him to, I begin to feel defeated. I have a feeling I'm not the only one.

So, if we're going to grow in integrity, one thing we're going to have to admit is that the big, impressive stuff often distracts us from the obedience we're called to choose on a daily basis. The Lord said that we aren't to despise the small beginnings because He rejoices to see the work begin, and it's time to honor how He moves in the smallest opportunities we encounter.

THIS WEEK, WE'RE REFLECTING ON ZECHARIAH 4:6-10 (NLT)

My favorite part is that even after all the resistance Zerubbabel encountered in Ezra, chapters 3-4, the Lord says He rejoices to see him start again!

That is so good to me. Sis, I wanna invite you to get your eyes off the big impressive things and the rejection that accompanied when you felt that it didn't go through because the Lord is rejoicing over you, especially as you begin to pick that thing back up. We are not to despise those small beginnings because He can move in that, and it won't be by force, it won't be by strength, but it will be by His Spirit.
