Day 2: The Power of Small Beginnings

Big goals can paralyze us with their size, but small wins?  They’re the heartbeat of progress.  Are you willing to give 10-15 minutes daily to what you love?  Maybe it’s as simple as praying 2-3 times this week or vowing not to miss two days in a row. Zechariah 4:10 (ESV) promises, “For whoever has despised the day of small things shall rejoice…” God sees every effort, no matter how modest, and He delights in our faithfulness.  I’ve learned this the hard way—waiting for the “perfect” moment stalls you.  The secret?  Get up and move.  Just start.  

Consistency isn’t glamorous; it’s gritty.  It’s choosing to act when you’d rather scroll your phone or hit snooze.  For me, it’s those early walks toward that 5K—nothing flashy, just steady.  God’s not asking for heroics; He’s asking for heart. 

One step today, another tomorrow—suddenly, you’re halfway there.  I’ve tripped up, letting days slip, but starting again taught me grace.  How will you stay accountable?  A note on my phone, or an event on my calendar keeps me honest—find your trick.  Small wins stack up, turning dreams into reality.  Think of David—stones, not swords, took down Goliath.  Your pebbles matter too.

Commit today—trust God to multiply your mustard-seed faith into mountains of change.  It’s not about speed; it’s about showing up.  What’s your next small win?  Start now, and watch Him weave something beautiful from your faithfulness.

Questions:

  1. What small action can you commit to this week?
  2. How will you keep yourself accountable?

Meet Todd Gordon, a seasoned educator, coach, and activities administrator who dedicated an impressive 37 years to shaping the lives of students within the realm of education.  His career has taken him on a remarkable journey through nine different school districts, ranging from the intimate setting of a small school to the dynamic landscape of a large, multi-high school urban district – truly everything in between. In 2022, Todd embarked on a new chapter, retiring from his illustrious career in education. However, retirement did not signal an end to his passion for making a positive impact in the realm of sports and activities.  Todd joined BOUND, a leading sports software company, where he continues to contribute his wealth of experience and knowledge to support activity administrators and coaches. Beyond the professional arena, Todd’s personal life is a testament to dedication and enduring love.  Married to his wife, Deb, for an impressive 40 years, they have navigated life’s journey together.  Their family has grown to include three married children, each on their unique paths, and six delightful grandchildren who bring joy and laughter to their lives. Todd authored and published his first book, “The Power of One.  One Word Leadership”, in 2022.   His newest project is the “The Pursuit”, and it starts with new writings on a new page on this website.  Todd delves into the essence of your daily pursuit of excellence, offering insights on growth, resilience, and the power of redemption.  By weaving daily Scripture insights into our exploration, we bridge the timeless with the contemporary, inviting you to reflect on leadership principles grounded in spiritual wisdom.
