Then he answered and spake unto me, saying, This is the word of the LORD unto Zerubbabel, saying, Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the LORD of hosts.
Zechariah 4:6 · , KJV
Zerubbabel faced a temple to rebuild and every reason to feel small. The word that came to him has steadied overwhelmed people ever since: not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the LORD of hosts.
We default to might and power — more effort, more leverage, more hours. God's work runs on different fuel. His Spirit accomplishes what force cannot, often through people who feel entirely insufficient.
Whatever mountain faces you today, you were never meant to flatten it by muscle. Ask for the Spirit's strength, and watch mountains become plains.
