Never forget it’s by God’s Spirit that His will gets accomplished. It’s not by your strength, or might, or intellect, or popularity, or riches, or anything you can offer. It’s by His Spirit that the idea sprang up in your head, the desire infiltrated your heart, and abilities carry it out. Whenever we try to do things on our own, we are guaranteed one thing, it doesn’t bring Him the glory He deserves. Without guidance, we fail in honoring God. Our way is not His way. Even the best intentions won’t succeed if it’s not by His Spirit.
6 Then he said to me, “This is what the Lord says to Zerubbabel: It is not by force nor by strength, but by My Spirit, says the Lord of Heaven’s Armies. 7 Nothing, not even a mighty mountain, will stand in Zerubbabel’s way; it will become a level plain before him! And when Zerubbabel sets the final stone of the Temple in place, the people will shout: ‘May God bless it! May God bless it!’”
