"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
I like the idea here that the Spirit trumps both might and power... and that is a good reminder in our lives when we have a tendency to think that we can't accomplish anything because we don't have the power, or when the other side is stronger than we are. Those aren't the determining factors, even though the world teaches us so. God and his spirit are always the determining factors, and prayer can do more good than raising an army, if the Lord's will is so.
Today, let's stay in touch with the Lord, and petition him for good things, in the world as well as in our own lives. God is the author of the story and it is his call... not the call of the strongest or the most influential. Let's join God in seeing and doing and being the good in the world.
