“Not by might nor by power, but by my Spirit, says the Lord Almighty” — Zechariah 4:6.

All my striving, pushing, analyzing, and planning are no match for my Heavenly Father. My Divine Advocate. I can do nothing aside from His permission.

“It is only through God’s spirit that anything of lasting value is accomplished” (NIV Life Application Bible notes). God made me who I am today. He didn’t need to call a meeting or a hire a team of experts to study the situation. He spoke and the universe appeared. And that universe includes you and me!

With Him, nothing is impossible (Luke 1:37).
