Bible Verse
“So he 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 Almighty.
Zechariah 4:6 (NIV).
Meaning
In this verse, the Lord is speaking to Zerubbabel, the governor of Judah, encouraging him to understand that real strength is found not in human might or power, but in God’s Spirit. This verse is a strong reminder that our own strength or ability does not accomplish the work of God. Rather, it’s by His Spirit working through us.
The principle behind this verse extends beyond just Zerubbabel and reaches to us today. No matter what we face, the insurmountable odds, or the overwhelming circumstances, power doesn’t come from our individual might or resources; it comes from God. His Spirit is our source of strength, our guiding light, and our ultimate power source.
Actions to Take
1. Ask God daily to fill you with His Spirit and give you the strength to face whatever comes.
2. Trust in God’s power rather than your own, especially when facing challenging circumstances.
3. Involve God in every area of your life. Remember, His Spirit equips and empowers us.
4. Live by faith. Believe in the power of God at work within us, even when it’s not visible to the human eye.
5. Share the message of Zechariah 4:6 with others. Encourage them that God’s Spirit is our ultimate power source.
