5 October, 2008 - Pastor's Pen today

Not By Might nor by Power but By His Spirit

Are you someone who enjoys fixing things that are not working? Taking it apart, getting a glimpse of how it works and then putting it all back together? The experience can be really satisfying especially when you can get it back to work again.

Unfortunately, life is not so simple. Many things in life cannot be fixed so easily when they break down. One example is guilt we may still feel for sins long past even though we may have already forgiven. Or it could be a persistent weakness that keeps us stuck and bound in the same frustrating cycle over and over again. Just as broken appliances cannot be fixed without outside intervention, we too need some outside help. We must rely on God to repair the broken areas of our lives.

"Not by might not by power, but by my spirit," says the Lord Almighty. -Zechariah 4:6
