The work of God is not done in our own strength. We need the superior
power of God's Spirit (Zechariah 4:6). The power of the Spirit comes to
us as the power of love, the power of Christ, the power of the Gospel.
This is the power that reaches us and changes us. There is no power
like the power of God's Spirit. The power of God's Spirit does not come
in an entirely supernatural way. It comes to us through people:.
"Zerubbabel's hands have laid the foundation of this House, and his
hands will finish it" (Zechariah 4:9). It is the Lord who uses us in His
service. We must never forget that the real power comes from Him: "Then
you will know that the Lord of Armies has sent me to you" (Zechariah
4:9). This supernatural dimension is at the heart of every real work of
God. When we emphasize this supernatural dimension. This something that
we must never forget - if we are to honour the Lord, truly and fully.
God works through ordinary people, who give themselves to Him, the
extraordinary God. God is looking for people who will say to Him, "Here
am I, send me" (Isaiah 6:8).
God's Word is "a lamp to our feet and a light to our path." He has "wondrous things" to teach us as we pray "Open my eyes that I may see" (Psalm 119:105, 18, 11). "May God's blessing surround you each day, as you trust Him and walk in His way. May His presence within guard and keep you from sin, go in peace, go in joy, go in love." "Not unto us, O Lord, not unto us, but to Your Name give glory, because of Your mercy and Your truth" (Psalm 115:1).
