Zechariah 4 – “Not by might, nor by power, but by My Spirit.”

​Have you ever faced a mountain of a problem with no success that you’ve felt like a failure? Maybe you’ve tried everything to solve it—all of your might, power, and strength—but that mountain of a problem stubbornly remains. And all of your effort and ingenuity only seem to make the problem worse.

But when you come to the end of your limited human might, power, intellect, and ingenuity and begin to rely solely upon God’s Holy Spirit and God’s grace that the mountain of a problem miraculously begins to move. 

This was God’s encouragement to Zerubabbel in Zechariah 4. God is graciously willing to help when we truly humble ourselves and admit that God’s work must be done in God’s way—not by our might or by our power.
