God’s Promise to Zechariah
6 Then he said to me, “This is the Word of the Lord to Zerubbabel saying, ‘Not by strength nor by power, but by My Spirit,’ says the Lord of All. 7 ‘What are you, O great mountain? In front of Zerubbabel you will become a plain. Then he will bring out the top stone and call out, “May God give it loving-favor!”’” 8 Also the Word of the Lord came to me saying, 9 “Zerubbabel’s hands have laid the first stones of this house, and his hands will finish it. Then you will know that the Lord of All has sent me to you. 10 Who has hated the day of small things? Men will be glad when they see Zerubbabel building the walls of the Lord’s house. These seven are the eyes of the Lord which travel over all the earth.”
My Reflection:
God enables us to do all things, but we must make the daily decisions throughout the day to believe in God and show our faith in all that He can do. We should not dwell on what we struggle with, but rather on the fact that God is good and has us in the palm of his hands and allow God to find favor in finding victory over obstacles and struggles in our life. My issue... clearly weight, and financial peace. These are struggles that I will face my entire life and yes, I have let it get me down on many occasions. But I am making the decision today, to try and remember, that these obstacles are minuscule compared to what God can do. There is a reason God has chosen me to bare these burdens, and it is my role to ensure that I give Him all the praise for choosing me to have them and learn from them for there is a preparation that is training me for.
I see Being Proactive and Putting First Things first From the 7 habits as the focus for me.
Lord help me to be strong in You... and help me to make wise choices throughout the days. Help me to already claim the victory in your name and no longer see my struggles as struggles, but rather regular workouts that are a part of my life.
