 God Helps Us by Sending Us His Spirit ㅡ

 “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)

 Throughout the history of God’s people great mountains of difficulty, apparently insurmountable, have loomed up before those who were trying to carry out the purposes of Heaven.

 Such obstacles are permitted by the Lord as a test of faith.

 When we are hedged about on every side, this is the time above all others to trust in God and in the power of His Spirit.

 The exercise of a living faith means an increase of spiritual strength and the development of an unfaltering trust.

 It is thus that the soul becomes a conquering power.

 Before the demand of faith, the obstacles placed by Satan across the pathway of the Christian will disappear; for the powers of heaven will come to his aid.

 “Nothing shall be impossible unto you.” (Matthew 17:20).

 The way of the world is to begin with pomp and boasting.

 God’s way is to make the day of small things the beginning of the glorious triumph of truth and righteousness.

 Sometimes He trains His workers by bringing to them disappointment and apparent failure.

 It is His purpose that they shall learn to master difficulties.

 Often men are tempted to falter before the perplexities and obstacles that confront them.

 But if they will hold the beginning of their confidence steadfast unto the end, God will make the way clear. Success will come to them as they struggle against difficulties.

 The presence of God gives stability to His cause. “Put not your trust in princes, nor in the son of man,” is the word that comes to us. (Psalm 146:3).

 “In quietness and in confidence shall be your strength.” (Isaiah 30:15).

 God’s glorious work, founded on the eternal principles of right, will never come to nought. It will go on from strength to strength, “not by might, nor by power, but by My Spirit, saith the Lord of hosts.”

 (Prophets and Kings 594, 595)
