Zec 4:6 Then he answered and spoke to me, saying, This is the Word of Jehovah to Zerubbabel, saying, Not by might, nor by power, but by My Spirit, says Jehovah of Hosts.
Wow!!! What a beautiful truth!!! What freedom and solace this should bring to the hearts of believers!!! It is NOT my might or power, it is the very Spirit of God!!
We try so hard to power through things in the flesh and struggle to see God's will accomplished through our great works and efforts. We need only to lean upon the everlasting arms and know that it is HIM. Jehovah Himself!!! He puts us into places and positions where we CANNOT succeed in our human strength and power. It is only then that we realize we have 2 choices. Continue to struggle and fail on our own, or surrender ourselves to Him and His Spirit and allow His overwhelming Grace and Power to fill our lives.
He will supply the way and the victory. But it is His way, His methods, His timing. God's ways are NOT our ways, He is so far above us, that He is unfathomnable to us. It is only in our weakness and failure that His victory is truly made manifest!!
My precious brothers and sisters, do not become bound to captivity and bondage of the Law and doing the Lord's in your own strength. It is only when we allow the Spirit of God to rule and reign in our lives that His perfect, acceptable and holy will can bring forth His Glory.
We need to learn to be willing vessels and stop getting in His way. Blessings to you all in the Glorious Presence of our Loving Savior, Jesus Christ...
