Don’t Ignore the Small Things
(Excerpts and inspiration from 21 Days of Powerful Breakthrough by Kemberley Washington)
“Pray in the Spirit at all times and on every occasion. Stay alert and be persistent in your prayers for all believers everywhere.” Ephesians 6:18 NLT
I don’t know about you but there are times I get tired of dealing with and praying about the same thing, with no “real” progress to show for—at least in my eyes. 👀
However, “our prayers are providing a constant and powerful breakthrough. God sent Elijah a small sign – a cloud and soon after there was a heavy rain. Although you may not see huge progress today, God is forming small clouds on your behalf.”
Remember Hannah, Daniel Abraham, and the persistent widow, who persevered through prayer and when it seemed as though all hope was gone, God answered their prayers. I can only imagine there were small victories in play that they may have missed, but that didn’t deter them from staying the course.
“Is there an area in your life [where] you have given up [all hope]? Are you just another touch away from victory? Stand strong knowing God is forming clouds for you!”
Prayer: Lord help me to stay the course, keep my eyes lifted and fastened on You. Help me to see and appreciate the small progress, wins and victories, because they form the foundation for larger ones in the end.
