Dear Father,

I have heard of people who, at the initial stage of building their vision, received support from others. Yet, in many cases, the men whose callings, visions, and inventions eventually achieved great or global recognition once had to run alone. Today, I pondered the blessing of multiplication and what it entails, and more significantly, the fact that it often begins with what seems negligible.

I came across what You said in Scripture: “Look to Abraham, your father, and to Sarah, who gave you birth. When I called him, he was only one man, and I blessed him and made him many.” Is this not the subtle mystery of multiplication? How can we tell that something in its singular form will one day rise beyond measure? How do we know that, in obeying Your call to come as one, we would one day become a multitude? This illustration reveals a truth: the blessing of multiplication first begins with the courage to obey.

There is a period that exists between our obedience and Your multiplication, where it seems as though we are thrown into a pool of doubt, surrounded by naysayers: voices that arise not only externally but also from within our own minds. In such moments, our obedience would, even from a logical perspective, be classified as foolishness.

For instance, how do we explain the dream of a flying machine to a world that only knows camels? Or multiplication to a man who has never experienced it? It seems to me, then, that the blessing of multiplication requires more than the initial call to come as one.
