"Not by might, nor by
power, but by My Spirit, says the Lord of hosts" (Zechariah 4:6).
The purposes of God can't
be accomplished by mere human might and power. And whatever we do seem to
accomplish in our own might and power should rightfully be questioned whether it
was really the purposes of God or our own. Apart from You, we can do nothing
(John 15:5). Apart from you, even our most righteous deeds are only filthy rags
(Isaiah 64:6).
So, Lord, I don't want to
be apart from You. I don't want to make my plans and make my choices to
accomplish my own purposes in my own might and power. As best as I can and all
by Your grace, I choose to be wholly surrendered and completely yielded to You
and Your will. Help me begin and continue each day emptied of myself and filled
with Your Spirit. When I fail, please be quick to restore me; when I misstep,
please be quick to correct me. Don't let me waste a moment of these limited days
You've entrusted to us to live and serve on this side of heaven (Matthew 25:21).
In Jesus' name I pray, Amen.
Be encouraged today! In
the Love of Jesus, Tommy
