For who has despised the day of small things (Zechariah 4:10). Plants, trees, and shrubs begin life as a small seed that germinates. Human life begins as a zygote. Speech development in a child begins with one syllable words. The kingdom of God operates on the principle of the seed. Something begins small and then grows a little at a time.
