Start Where You Are
For the LORD your God is God of gods and Lord of lords, the great God, mighty and awesome, who shows no partiality and accepts no bribes (Deuteronomy 10:17, NIV).
On one particular trip home to Sydney, I spent the afternoon visiting my mum (and eating lots of Greek food!).
I walked into the bedroom I had occupied in my mum’s house for almost 30 years and was amazed at how small it was. In that bedroom, I not only slept but somehow managed to fit a study desk that, when combined with my bed, took up every available square inch of space.
I smiled as I reflected on the fact that it was in that room I’d studied for my high school exams, my university exams, and my Bible college exams. It was there I’d written the first six years of sermons I ever preached.
I marveled at how a global ministry started in a room where I could almost touch opposing walls if I stretched out my arms. At that moment, I realized that it’s not the size of the room but the size of our God that determines our destiny.
Sometimes we want to wait until everything is perfect before we start to do anything, but I have found that if we simply start where we are, with what we have, when we can, then God in His bigness is well able to compensate for any of our smallness. And that is good news!
