The Gate — J Calaway — Make Today Count -- It's not perfect
Jan 19, 2026 • J Calaway
Bold Beginnings
“God specializes in bold beginnings, not perfect conditions.”
KEY TRUTH
God moves through faith, not ideal circumstances
Obedience matters more than readiness
God’s presence outweighs perfect conditions
WHAT GOD DOES
Calls us to start before we feel prepared
Leads us step by step, not all at once
Uses small beginnings for big purposes
Scripture:
Exodus 3:10–12
Hebrews 11:8
Zechariah 4:10
OUR RESPONSE
Pray for courage to begin
Trust God with the first step
Obey even when clarity is limited
Scripture:
Matthew 7:24
TAKEAWAY
Don’t wait for perfect conditions
Start in faith
Trust God’s presence
Remember:
God begins where faith shows up, so Make Today Count.
