Happy
Wednesday!
Praise God for the
rain!!
All three papers have
been completed and edited by my beloved editor and husband and all three have
been sent off via email to my professor.
I even received confirmation from her that she received them. Praise God!!
Prayer: “Father, as I begin this new day, I give You
praise and thanksgiving for a good night’s sleep. Thank You, heavenly Father
for the opportunities You’ll place in my path throughout the day. Help me to be sensitive to Your Spirit that I
might use godly discernment as You direct my steps. Help me, O Lord to be a godly influence in
the lives of those I encounter this day.
In the precious name of Jesus I pray. Amen.”
“This is the word of the LORD to
Zerubbabel: ‘Not by might not by power,
but by My Spirit,’ says the LORD of hosts.”
Zechariah 4:6
The Word God gave to
Zerubbabel concerned a lamp He had placed in the temple. It was fed with oil by
two trees that would give a continuing supply of oil to this lamp. God’s
purpose for the lamp was for Israel to be the light of God for the world.
God’s Holy Spirit is like that lamp. Jesus came and declared Himself the “Light of
the world.” Jesus was to be the light of
the world in a never ending supply. Jesus
died and was resurrected. The Holy
Spirit came to live in our hearts as our continual supply of light no matter
how the darkness might try to overcome.
When we are at our weakest God is not hindered nor will God be aided by
our strength. Far too often we become
more dependent upon our own resources rather than the power of God through the
Holy Spirit. The apostle Paul realized that Hebrew intellectual knowledge was
not able to compare with the mighty power of God’s Holy Spirit. Philippians 4:13
“I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” It is not by our own power, but the power of
the Holy Spirit within us that brings us out of weakness and helplessness with
the reminder that God’s oil (Spirit) is available in abundant supply.
Take joy in the
journey. Wear comfortable shoes, carry
an umbrella and get some sleep. Count your blessings and say your
prayers. Love you all, Bruce, Gaylene,
Geni and Travis.
I
am not moved by what I see. I am not moved by what I feel. I am only moved by
what I believe and I believe God.
