4 I asked the angel who talked with me, "What are these, my lord?" 5 He answered, "Do you not know what these are?" 


"No, my lord," I replied. 6 So he said to me, "This is the word of the LORD to Zerubbabel: 'Not by might nor by power, but by my Spirit,' says the LORD Almighty. [Zech. 4:4-6]

Sometimes I wonder how I would walk this Christian life, since the path is full of perils and obstacles. In time, it seems the one who are closest to me is unable to lend me a helping hand.

Then, I realize I am depending on people's hands and not of God's. I have doubt in my heart, and it is a subtle doubt. Do I not know the might of God? Do I doubt God's faithfulness? What God had started, God will accomplish. When I walk to the point where my strength fails me, God will carry me through. This is the promise from the perfect God, from the loving God, and He is mighty and just.

He is faithful, even when we are not.

"Not by might, not by power, but by the spirit of God."

Walk, fell down, and walk again

Sometimes I don't know what to say or what to write. I mean this is probably one of the many times I have writer's block. But I imagine only veteran writers would experience writer's block.

I found that most of the time, I can live out my daily life without consider God's or spiritual side of things. But life would be boring to the point of unbearable degree.

Journey with God is an incredible hard journey. There are times I feel it's not worth it to go thru the small door, when everybody (that I see) is taking the easier path. At those times, I would question why.

Also factor in my inability to comprehend God's infinite wisdom. There are times I would ask why things happen this way or getting frustrated with my own limitation. I bet these are the times that God is working, but I just don't see it.

Think

You got to take pride on what you do at the moment. It does not matter what job you are having at the moment, it represents you. You got to be happy and relax, because life is stressful enough. A smiling face equipped with the equal attitude goes a long way.

I read the following today.

Luke 18:9-13

The Parable of the Pharisee and the Tax Collector

To some who were confident of their own righteousness and looked down on everybody else, Jesus told this parable: "Two men went up to the temple to pray, one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector. The Pharisee stood up and prayed about^[a] himself: 'God, I thank you that I am not like other men—robbers, evildoers, adulterers—or even like this tax collector. I fast twice a week and give a tenth of all I get.'

"But the tax collector stood at a distance. He would not even look up to heaven, but beat his breast and said, 'God, have mercy on me, a sinner.'

I felt like I'm the Pharisee who looked down on the less righteousness people. Didn't the Bible state that there is no one good man on earth? Why would I despite people when I equally own God the same amount of debt?
