Even though you don’t see the effects of your obedience and faithfulness to Me, I know that when you have obeyed My whispers and followed where I have led you, you have always borne much fruit. So many times I have called you to follow Me into a new direction by faith, and as you have taken those first steps in the direction that I have led you, listening to My voice and obeying My call, then I have helped you to accomplish My purpose.
As I explained in Isaiah 55:11 – just like the rain that I send from Heaven, those little drops fall to ground and water the earth and cause the plants to grow and flourish. When I send you to speak to someone, or I call you to share the gospel, or to follow Me into a new project – because you have given your life and heart to Me, then I will not cause your work to “come back void” – but it will prosper and accomplish the purpose that I have ordained.
So don’t despise the day of small things or these beginning steps as you launch out into this new project. And don’t worry about whether you will get the results you are expecting or hoping for. You can trust Me that I will accomplish My purpose whenever I call you to follow Me in a new direction. I know you get great joy when you are in My will, and My joy is going to be your great strength in the days to come. Just keep following Me step by step – and I promise that I will complete the work that I have begun in you. (Philippians 1:6)
