Do not despise small beginnings

Entrepreneurialism ho!

Today the Lord granted us a $24 return so far on a $5 investment with the promise of much more! Hallelujah!

This is my prayer, men: That we would be able to add value to whatever Father brings us. That we would recognize opportunities to bring increase to His Kingdom. That He would bless whatever we turn our hands to that we might redeem these things for His purposes.

Several months ago, my son and I were discussing buying run-down houses and fixing them up for resale. We concluded that this honored Father because it is performing the same work that He performed at Creation. "In the beginning, the earth was formless and void." Father brought order to chaos. We participate in the same work when we fix the broken things of this world and make them valuable.

Father, as men who are operating as your hands and feet in this broken world, may we all step back from our work each day and proclaim with you, "It is good."
