You have a better end.
“Though thy beginning was small, yet thy latter end should greatly increase.”
Job 8:7
“Though thy beginning was small, yet thy latter end should greatly increase.”
Job 8:7
God always starts things small. He builds on principles. This is why every great vision starts small. Ecclesiastes 7:8 says, “Better is the end of a thing than the beginning thereof: and the patient in spirit is better than the proud in spirit.”
Your beginning may be small, difficult or challenging. But no matter what your beginning is like, always be conscious that the end of a thing is better than the beginning. This means that it does not matter how your life may have started, it will surely end better.
The process in the fulfillment of a dream requires patience. Therefore, if you are going to get to the end of your dream or vision, you will have to be patient. Hebrews 10:35-38 says, “Cast not away therefore your confidence, which hath great recompence of reward. For ye have need of patience, that, after ye have done the will of God, ye might receive the promise. For yet a little while, and he that shall come will come, and will not tarry. Now the just shall live by faith: but if any man draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him.”
When it looks as though the dream or vision is taking time to be fulfilled always remember that God uses the process of patience to develop your character. Romans 5:4 says, “And patience, experience; and experience, hope:” The Amplified Bible shows it to us more clearly saying, “And endurance (fortitude) develops maturity of character (approved faith and tried integrity). And character [of this sort] produces [the habit of] joyful and confident hope of eternal salvation.”
Prayer:
Dear Father, I choose to hold on to your Word to me inspite of all contrary evidence. I believe that it will be unto me as you have said. Though my beginning was small, yet my latter end should greatly increase. Thank you Father, in Jesus Name. Amen.
