If Christ lives in us, and His Word says He does (Colossians 1:27), self-effort, self-strength, and self-knowledge are dwarfed by the power of the Spirit of the Lord within us. Zechariah 4:6 states: “Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the LORD of hosts” (KJV). The Spirit is always available, always with us, and always able to do the completely impossible through us. Be a conduit, a vessel, a willing participant in all the He wants to do. His “exceeding great power to us who believe” (Ephesians 1:19), is residing in our innermost being. Just think, chew, ponder, and meditate on these things! They will change your life!
