Bible Verse of The Day – 6-30-21

Zechariah 4:6 (NKJV) 6 So he answered and said to me: “This is the word of the Lord to Zerubbabel: ‘Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit,’ Says the Lord of hosts.

An angel of God had come to Zechariah with a vision that was meant to comfort a remnant of the people of Israel, who were in exile.

They longed to be able to return to their homeland, Israel.

Their heart’s desire was to rebuild the temple of God and wait upon the return of the Messiah, bringing the fulfillment of God’s promises to His people.

They were up against circumstances that looked impossible by human logic and human understanding.

But, as the angel spoke to Zechariah, he assured him that God had a plan, and that it would be fulfilled.

The catch, though, was that these plans would not be carried out by traditional power or might, but by the Spirit of God Himself.

This is very fitting for us today.

We are witnessing so many events on a global level that are 100% evil in their origins, displaying corruption on a scale not seen before by most of us.

And it makes us wonder what will happen next. How will this evil be overcome and brought to its knees? How will justice prevail in such times as these, where depravity is the norm for so many?

I don’t have the exact answer, nor the timing of it. But know this; God is on His throne, and none of this is too big for Him.

None of this has caught Him by surprise. Evil will be crushed, in one way or another.

And while I may not have an exact answer as to how it will play out, I know beyond a doubt that it will not be by human might nor power, but 100% by the hand of God, by His Spirit.

In that, I rest. In that, I hold confidence. And in that, I have the peace of God that surpasses all understanding.

Philippians 4:6-7 (NKJV) 6 Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; 7 and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
