8:7 Your beginning will seem so small,
since your future will flourish.
Isaiah 41:14
41:14 Don’t be afraid, despised insignificant Jacob,
men of Israel.
I am helping you,” says the Lord,
your protector, the Holy One of Israel.
Isaiah 60:22
60:22 The least of you will multiply into a thousand;
the smallest of you will become a large nation.
When the right time comes, I the Lord will quickly do this!”
Daniel 2:34-35
2:34 You were watching as
a stone was cut out,
but not by human hands. It struck the statue on its iron and clay feet, breaking them in pieces.
2:35 Then the iron, clay, bronze, silver, and gold were broken in pieces without distinction
and became like chaff from the summer threshing floors that the wind carries away. Not a trace of them could be found. But the stone that struck the statue became a large mountain that filled the entire earth.
Zechariah 4:10
4:10 For who dares make light of small beginnings? These seven eyes
will joyfully look on the tin tablet
in Zerubbabel’s hand. (These are the eyes of the
Lord, which constantly range across the whole earth.)
Matthew 13:31-32
The Parable of the Mustard Seed
13:31 He gave them another parable: “The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed that a man took and sowed in his field.
13:32 It is the smallest of all the seeds, but when it has grown it is the greatest garden plant and becomes a tree, so that the wild birds come and nest in its branches.”
