Not by Our Own Might but by His Spirit! May 19, 2025

“Not by might nor by power, but by my Spirit,’ says the Lord Almighty.”

 Zechariah 4:6

Today’s Word

In a world that values strength, control, and self-reliance, God reminds us that His true power comes not through human effort but through His Spirit living in us. Remember that it is not by your own might or ability that you will overcome challenges, but by the Spirit of God who empowers and guides you. This Spirit works quietly but powerfully within your heart, enabling you to do what you cannot do alone. Trust in His presence and surrender your struggles to Him, knowing that His strength is made perfect in your weakness.

Prayer

Lord Almighty, thank You for Your Spirit that empowers me beyond my own strength. Help me to release the need to rely on my own abilities and to fully depend on You. When I feel weak or uncertain, remind me that Your Spirit is working within me, guiding, strengthening, and enabling me to overcome. May I walk daily in Your power and grace, reflecting Your glory in all I do. Amen.
