HIS Power • Zechariah 4:6

“Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit," says the LORD of hosts (Zechariah 4:6). When situations come our way, we usually rely on our own strength to deal with them, even though we in our own flesh fail a majority of the time. The sad thing is that we have the Creator of everything in existence on our side yet we tell Him to sit on the side lines while we mess things up. We have a perfect Dad that wants to give us the desires of our heart, we just need to let Him do it.

Interview of a Lifetime • John 19

In John 19, as Pontius Pilate privately interviewed Jesus before the crucifixion, the impression is that Pilate’s general attitude was one of diffidence and apathy. He didn’t want to make a decision about Jesus and he thought that he didn’t have to. Pilate tried to ignore the fact that Jesus really was the king He said He was. It was actually Pilate’s life and eternity that were on trial. One day as Pilate stands before the judgment seat of Christ, he will have to give his own defense. When it comes to Jesus, we all have a decision to make that we cannot ignore.

Most Wanted • Romans 8:1-4

A résumé describes your qualifications, strengths, and accomplishments. It’s an important part of the job-hiring process for the employer to choose you as a candidate. God doesn’t require a résumé. No background check needed. God chooses you to be on His team despite your shortcomings to shame the wise and mighty. 1 Corinthians 1:26-28. You are valuable to God. You are on His “most wanted” list. Therefore, as you receive and believe in Jesus, you instantly become children of God. John 1:12. You are a chosen people, royal priesthood, holy nation, a people belonging to God, that you may declare the praises of Him (1 Peter 2:9-10).
