Day 316 of 365

Not by Your Own Effort

“Then he answered and spake unto me, saying, This is the word of the LORD unto Zerubbabel, saying, Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the LORD of hosts.”

Zechariah 4:6 (KJV) |

What This Means for You

Zerubbabel was staring at a mountain of obstacles trying to rebuild the temple. God's answer was not a bigger army or more resources. It was His Spirit. That same truth applies to the mountain you are facing. You do not need more willpower or a better plan. You need the Spirit of the living God.

Try This Today

Identify one thing you have been trying to power through on your own. Pause right now and pray: 'God, I cannot do this by might or power. I need your Spirit to carry what I cannot.'
