Zechariah 4:6 (NKJV) So he answered and said to me: “This is the word of the Lord to Zerubbabel: ‘Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit,’ Says the Lord of hosts.
As we walk though our lives and we encounter various situations, trials, difficulties, etc., we often call on God to help us or deliver us from them.
When we do, we always seem to have preconceived ideas as to how God should do it. Most times these ideas involve God swooping down in some miraculous way, making a grand display of His power and might, crushing our problems with His awesomeness!
On the contrary, though, it’s almost never this way.
God rarely does things the way we expect Him to. He does things the way they need to be done and in a way that we would never have figured out in advance, so we can’t take the credit for it and to build our trust and faith in Him.
So if you’re in a bit of trouble right now, or if you encounter trouble in your future, go ahead and ask God to help you, but don’t expect it to be the way you think it should be.
Not by might nor power, but by His spirit!
