Despising the Day of Small Beginnings

Does anyone dare despise this day of small beginnings...? Zech 4:10

Whassup bro's!

This next posting comes at a time when I've often done what is described in the title and that is to despise the day of small beginnings. The verse I've quoted from came at a time when God was reminding Zerubbabel that rebuilding the temple would only bring about prosperity as long as God was sought to help it come to fruition.

Both Joshua and Zerubbabel may have been figureheads in terms of overseeing the build, but they were each reminded, in their own ways, that God's power would make this possible and not by their own might. In doing this, God proved to them that man's strength and wisdom would only take him so far, it was in God's that he should rely to take him all the way to the finish line.

It's this I want to take a look at today, this idea that we should not despise what we're going through today in order for our tomorrow to be as great as it possibly can be...

Admit it, You Have a Problem

As you know, I've been through a significant period of depression, and in actual fact if I look back honestly, I think it's safe to say that there was a certain despising of the day of small beginnings going on right there.

Why?

I was sick of having no job, no current improvement in my financial prospects, then my car started acting up, you know how it is. When you see negative it's like that is all that your eyes are drawn to and the positive becomes completely oblivious to you. I suppose you even become immune to it, after a fashion, because you are no longer looking for it all the time.

It would certainly explain those times when, even though the weather was like it is today, it felt as though there was a filter over everything draining the colour from it all. I swear to you, it was like the whole world was painted different shades of black, never mind gray!

The point I was trying to make is that I was in no way helping things by holding a certain resentment for this period of life that I was going through. It would explain the malaise, the malady, the melancholy I was feeling so very deep down in the depths of my soul. It had gone untreated and unrecognised for so long I just thought that I had to ride it out and do the opposite of what I've told so many of you to do; reach out to someone!

It feels liberating to finally begin to admit just what damage I'd done in failing to apprehend the slide in my emotional wellbeing over recent years, never mind weeks or months and it is something that I am therefore on the road to recovery, thankfully, every day.

Final Thought

Take your emotional well-being just as serious as your physical, folks, I cannot stress that enough!

Sometimes, with the sheer pace of it, you can go through life and without knowing or realising it, can bottle emotions up far more than you could or should. It is not a weakness to admit you need help every once in a while, trust me, I've been there, I'm living it every single day, now that I have had the sense to admit my struggles to those around me. It shows me that I'm perfectly normal. Well, as normal as you can be for someone like me; a Sensation in the making, lol!

Do just like I have done, start yourself a blog to talk about your feelings because I am sure that you will get the benefit from it if you commit enough time and space. Undoubtedly you will help other people, which in this day and age is always something people are looking for; help on making this thing called life just a little less dull each day.

I've done this now for the past couple of years, I think, and it had done me the world of good to sift through exactly what I'm going through so that I can see just what emotions I've been holding onto and what grudges need to be relinquished in my daily struggle.

So my advice to you today, is this, do not despise the day of small beginnings because you do not know of the foundations that this small day will turn into. Maybe a big day of giant... okay I won't just put opposites in there, but you get what I mean, right?

Requiescat en pace, bro's!
