Our Source Of Sufficiency

Zechariah 4:6  

"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." 

    Zerubbabel faced a task of building the temple, and here in v-6 the prophet describes the source of Zerubbabel's sufficiency; it is God's "Spirit" which will sustain him. Even though he is the governor of a seemingly insignificant province of  the larger Persian Empire; he is assured that he will complete the temple that he had begun to build. The angel lets the prophet know, in general, that this vision was designed to illustrate a word which the Lord had to say to Zerubbabel, to encourage him to go on with the building of the temple. Let him know that he is a worker together with God in it, and that it is a work which God will own and crown. God will carry on and complete this work, as he had begun their deliverance from Babylon, 

   My Friends, We may faltered in our walk as a Believer and can't seem to get reconstructed, and have a practically lost heart. Here is encouragement to renew our efforts and persevere us. We might be weak and flexible as a wick but none of our deficiencies could hinder us from finishing our life work, if only our spirit was kindled with the divine fire and fed by the grace of the Holy Spirit. God will carry on and complete our life work, because God is in it with us, and the work God will own, God will crown. 

Amen!
