"Not by might, nor by power, but by my Spirit," Zechariah 4:6.
Word of God. The word of the Lord. God's plans come to reality from the will of God, not from human military might and strength, not from human power and authority. The Spirit of God, not the spirit of man, accomplishes God's will. God's anointed priest, indeed, God's anointed king, come from the center of the light of God, from his lampstand. From his own Spirit. The golden lampstand with its golden oil give light for the Spirit of God to see everything everywhere on earth, to conscript it all to his will. Priest and king unite in Jesus, the Christ of God. God's Spirit works with power and action in a broken, impotent world.
We visit with a brother or sister today enlightened by the Holy Spirit. And together we give thanks to God for the power and might of his Spirit to raise us up from the dead.
