Not by might, nor by power, but by My Spirit, says the Lord. (Zechariah 4:6)
God with power and might at His disposal yet works in the wise. His quiet performances are indirect, deep, serene, and seemingly slow, and have to be explored to be understood and appreciated. he quietly and confidently moves, working wonders day after day. In every experience, at work, hom, at church, and in soceity, it at times appears as though God was being defeated, and the movements of His grace and providence were failures, and all His plans were reversed, flowing upstream in the opposite direction from the ocean of blessings. One has to look up and cast his gaze out from the shore of frustration encirclements of the present and consider the entire stream of God's purpose among His people in order to see that He is continually winning the battle in quiet circuitous ways.
God works through individuals, conquering some heart, and through that heart He pours His purpose like a mighty river. The Lord makes His conquests by keeping His saints in utter dependence upon Him, making them live by faith. There is to be none of self in His program, but all of Christ.
“No eye has seen, no ear has heard, no mind has imagined the things that I have prepared for those who love Me.”
(1 Corinthians 2:9)
