Ezra 5:2 - Then Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel and Jeshua son of Jozadak set to work to rebuild the house of God in Jerusalem. And the prophets of God were with them, helping them.
It doesn't take a crowd to accomplish great results, it only takes a few committed people.
A good friend of mine taught us one key principle in hitch leadership that I am appreciating more and more these days: "Go with the Goers". I didn't realize how valuable that advice really is.
So often we get discouraged by the lack of participation people give. Some tire of family members that do little I help, others struggle with those who give little to support their organization, and often people compare output of coworkers. The focus is on what could be accomplished when all of us work together.
But I have come to discover that God seems to do more with less. God used David & Jonathan to defeat Goliath and a philistine army. He used Moses and Aaron to lead an exodus. God cut down Gideon's army to only 300 men to defeat the Midianites. And Jesus used 12 men to change the world. The miracle of God is when he uses a few to accomplish incredible results.
Instead of seeing the ones who don't participate, that the initiative with the ones who do. Let God do a miracle, accomplishing great things with only a few, and celebrate His results.
Who is "going" with u these days? What can u do to appreciate them and celebrate what God is doing through your efforts?
