[Songs in the Night - February 25]
Not by might, nor by power, but by my Spirit, saith the Lord of hosts. Zechariah 4:6
OUR Lord Jesus himself laid the foundation of the
spiritual temple, and he himself will complete it as its
top-stone, and it shall be acclaimed glorious, not only
by men, but by angels, in God's due time.
The work is
in his hand, and although from outward appearances at
the present time there may seem to be discouragements,
and little progress may seem to have been made,
yet his servants should be of good courage and should
remember that their victory is to come, not through
human might, popularity, and influence, nor by their
own power, but by the Lord's Spirit.
The possession
of his faith and his Spirit will give us the victory over
the world, the flesh, and the Adversary, and make us
more than conquerors through him who loved us and
bought us with his own precious blood. Z'99-223 R2522:2 (Hymn 91)
