The Day of Small Things (Part 1 of 2)

A Need and a Dream

Written by Pete Hurst | Wednesday, May 6, 2026

We don’t expect God to appear to us in a burning bush today, but that doesn’t mean there won’t be times that we are called to do things. What does it take? A need and a dream.

 

A little over 500 years before Christ was born, there was a man named Zerubbabel who was called by God to rebuild the temple in Jerusalem. It had been destroyed because of the unfaithfulness of God’s people.

His was an awesome task and responsibility, but God gave assurances that it could and would be done.

“’This is the word of the Lord to Zerubbabel: Not by might, nor by power, but by my Spirit, says the Lord of hosts.”

And

“For whoever has despised the day of small things shall rejoice…”
—Zechariah 4:6b,10a
