ONLY BY HIM
Today's reading: Zechariah 1-7

"...It is not by force nor by strength, but by my Spirit, says the Lord Almighty." Zechariah 4:6 NLT

I've got to be very careful.

I am a strong-willed kind of gal who believes she can do just about anything, if I just set my mind to it.

There are problems with that--I tend to become independent and prideful. I become haughty and filled with disrespect for those 'needing a hand'. I practically break my arm in attempts to pat myself on the back.

Nothing I have, am or will ever accomplish is by by own merits.

I don't know what you're facing today, but it can be done--through Christ Jesus!

We all need Him. We all are wired to depend upon Him with all our beings. We all will come to a point in life when He is all we have--and we will find He is all we need.

So work hard today at what He has called you to do.

Try your best, your created for a great purpose best.

And the whole time, depend upon Him!

"There are three kinds of people in the world; those who have sought God and found Him and now serve Him, those who are seeking Him, but have not yet found Him, and those who neither seek Him nor find Him. The first are reasonable and happy, the second reasonable and unhappy, and the third unreasonable and unhappy."    -- Blaise Pascal
