His Spirit

As 2017 approaches I find myself asking what did I try to do this past year by my own might and my own power? What are the things that I could have given over to the Lord that I held on to? Where do I want to start fresh in the New Year? 

This verse in Zechariah 4:6 gives us a good answer to how we can accomplish Gods will for our life: "This is the word of the Lord to Zerubbabel: 'Not by might not by power, but by My Spirit, Says the Lord of host."

Zerubabbabel could not do Gods work by his own power he needed Gods Spirit to accomplish Gods work! He had to trust God to give him what he needed to accomplish Gods work. Gods Spirit was a necessity, not an option!

We also need to trust God in all the areas of our life, and manage through His Spirit not our own power. We need to speak to Him and seek Him daily!

Is there an area where you have not trusted God? It's never to late to give that over to Him. Have you never known Him? Have you walked away, not prayed or picked up your bible in while? He is waiting and ready for you, His child! Zachariah 1:3 says "Therefore say to them, Thus says the Lord of host: "Return to Me," says the Lord of host,"and I will return to you," says the Lord of hosts."

Take time to inhale the good and bad of 2016. What can you do in the New year by the power of God? What can you turn over to Him that you have held back? How can you seek His Spirit this coming year? He already knows and sees what the year holds, trust Him and Seek Him and His Spirit will fill you beyond measure!
