RELATED SCRIPTURE
ZECHARIAH 4:1-9

Wouldn’t it be great if doing God’s will was always easy? But at times we encounter obstacles. When Zerubbabel felt this way, the Lord sent the prophet Zechariah with a word of encouragement.

Zerubbabel was given the task of rebuilding the temple. The first temple had been built during a time of peace and prosperity—under Solomon, the treasuries were overflowing and the workforce was huge. But the situation was quite different when the Jews returned after 70 years of Babylonian captivity. Now they were few in number, their enemies kept attacking, Jerusalem was in ruins, and resources were limited. In today’s reading, Zechariah’s message to Zerubbabel (4:1-9) contained two principles that strengthened him: 

We are to face our tasks in the power of the Holy Spirit (v. 6). The Lord’s work can never be done with human strength. His indwelling Spirit must empower us with the wisdom and energy to accomplish His will in our life.
When God calls us to a task, He assumes the responsibility for removing any hindrances (vv. 7-9). When we’re tempted to give up, it’s time to look up and see the obstacle through His eyes.

Is the Lord asking you to do something that seems impossible? Ask Him to supply the hope and strength to persevere.
