Not by might but by.....

Many times in life I often struggle with certain issues.  They always seem somehow interconnected, a common thread runs through each.  I find myself constantly trying to do things for God in the power of my flesh.  The results never turn out quite like i always picture them too.  I recently heard a sermon on grace that dealt with the following scripture.

Zechariah 4:6-7 This the word of the Lord to Zerubbabel  ,not by might nor by power but by My Spirit says the Lord of hosts.  Who are you O great mountain before Zerubbabel you shall become a plain! and he shall bring forth the capstone with shouts of Grace, Grace! to it.

We can do alot of "stuff" with our own might, money, and perseverance but at what cost will we do those things.  Waiting on God is very very very difficult, but when we do God shows us His power to  make mountains into plains.  Why not do things Gods way, cause when we do stuff in our flesh, our best work has a tendency to make mole hills into mountains.

Im praying for you all
