Zechariah 4:10  For whoever has despised the day of small things shall rejoice...

Sometimes we feel immersed in "small things" every day, the mundane tasks that must be done - doing laundry, paying bills, cooking meals, shoveling the driveway, putting gas in the car and running errands. Small things can wear us down. We find solace in the fact that Zechariah acknowledges those who "have despised the day of small things." We are not alone! Zechariah assures us that we despisers of small things will rejoice because the eyes of the Lord will "range through the whole earth" (Zech 4:10). Our Lord is taking care of the big picture, making sure that his grand plan for all things is coming together.

We are on a forward-moving trajectory that is taking us ever closer to the hallways of heaven, where the purpose of all the small things in life will be revealed at the throne of our crucified and risen Lord Jesus Christ. For us he became small so that we might live large in his presence forever.

So don't be frustrated by the small things. Those small things are bringing us ever closer to the Last Day, when we will live life to the fullest for all eternity.
