#372 Not by Might Zechariah 4.6
My sister in law—my dear friend and sister in Christ, and I were texting, and she brought up ‘treading water’ in experiences.
In jest, I responded: “Want to stock up on some floaties with me?”
She responded: “I’ve decided that I have no clue where my floaties are…and the ones I’ve been wearing are leaking air.”
This is the honest response when we look at our own feeble efforts and resources in the face of the mighty waves of life’s experience.
“Wings may be an idea…or maybe just falling into Everlasting Arms…”
"Relax in My everlasting arms. Your weakness is an opportunity to grow strong in awareness of My Almighty Presence. When your energy fails you, do not look inward and lament the lack you find there. Look to Me and My sufficiency; rejoice in My radiant riches that are abundantly available to help you." Sarah Young
Makes me think: what am I looking for? Strength and Divine perspective and His possibility. What am I looking at? Myself and my pattern of weakness. What I am really looking for and what I am looking at don’t match!
We see what we are looking at...so Abba Father rivet our focus on You and Jesus and not on the problem, the wind and waves…because
floaties just aren’t adequate!
‘Not by might, nor by power, but by My spirit, says the LORD of hosts. ‘What are you, O great mountain? Before Zerubbabel you will become a plain; and he will bring forth the top stone with shouts of “Grace unto it!”’ Zechariah 4:6-7
The building of the spiritual Temple of God will be completed, and it will be recognized as a work of Grace.
And floaties are not the resource in this great work….
