The temple in Jerusalem was destroyed when the people of Judah were taken into captivity in Babylon. When they were finally free to return, they desired to rebuild the temple.
Many of the older Jews were disheartened when they realized the new temple would not match the size and splendor of the previous temple built during King Solomon’s reign.
But bigger and more beautiful may not always be better.
What you do for God may seem small and insignificant at the time, but God rejoices in what is right. He can take small and make it great.
“Do not despise——small beginnings, for the Lord rejoices to see the work begin.” Zachariah 4:10.
Be faithful in small opportunities. Begin where you are and do what you can. Leave the rest to God.
David had a sling; Moses had a staff; Rahab had a rope; Mary had ointment; Dorcas had a needle; Sampson had a jawbone——God used all of them.
Have a blessed day!
