Zechariah 4:6
Zechariah 4:6. The Verse of the Day for Sunday, August 9, 2026, with a short reflection.
"Not by might, nor by power, but by my Spirit," says Yahweh of Armies.
Zechariah 4:6
What this verse means
God tells a discouraged builder that the work will be finished by his Spirit, not by force or human strength.
This word comes to Zerubbabel, the governor leading the rebuilding of the temple after Israel returned from exile. The workers were few and the task felt impossibly large. The words behind "might" and "power" point to armies and physical force.
The promise is that the temple would be completed by God's Spirit, working through small and ordinary means, rather than by muscling it into place. It quietly redefines what actually gets things done.
