Limerick

A lampstand with seven lamps so bright,
By grace, God’s power shines through the night.
Not by might or by skill,
But His Spirit fulfills,
And triumphs in God’s guiding light.

Potential actions to take in response

A practical way to respond to Zechariah 4:1-6a, 10b-end is to focus on recognizing and trusting your own inner strength when facing challenges. The passage emphasizes that success isn’t just about effort or resources but about relying on a higher source of support and wisdom. You can do this by intentionally pausing during difficult tasks or decisions to reflect on what resources—such as advice from others, past experiences, or your intuition—you can draw upon. For example, if you’re starting a new project at work or dealing with a tough situation, remind yourself that perseverance and clarity often come from internal confidence and patience, rather than trying to do everything alone. This approach encourages you to acknowledge the importance of humility and trust in your journey, understanding that sometimes, stepping back and trusting your process leads to better results than rushing ahead without guidance.
