“Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit.” says the Lord of Hosts. Zechariah 4:6
One thing that I have come to realize is that my sheer will power cannot make something happen. I can be pretty strong willed and much to my chagrin I am helpless sometimes. God however can change a heart, move a mountain or perform a miracle right before my eyes. In today’s Gospel, John sends two of his disciples to Jesus to ask if He is the Savior. Jesus replies, “tell him what you see happening… the Lame walk, the blind see, sins are forgiven”.
I need to Let Go and Let God. Our world is troubled today like it has never been… our prayer chain is being bombarded by sickness, financial ruin, joblessness… not one of us alone can force things to be the way “we want” them to be.
All things are possible with God. I need to rise daily and put on God’s spirit and the mountains of life will become leveled. I will be able to experience the miracle of joy in spite of trouble. God’s spirit is truly a force to be reckoned with.
Help me to accept and seek your Spirit and allow that same spirit to direct my path!
