Facing Life's Challenges
Updated: Oct 10
Facing life's challenges does not have to be a solo effort: anytime believers meet overwhelming problems, they can rely on the Holy Spirit for the help they need.
Zechariah 4:1-10
Facing Life's Challenges With the Holy Spirit
Are you facing what seems like an insurmountable obstacle? It might be a problem too complex to solve, a task beyond your ability, a sin too tempting to overcome, or a situation over which you have no control. Facing such things can make us feel weak, helpless, and vulnerable. But always remember that we have an almighty God, and nothing is too difficult for Him.
Zerubbabel was a Jewish leader who, together with 50,000 of his countrymen, returned to Jerusalem from Babylonian captivity. They set about rebuilding the temple, but the obstacles were daunting. The people became disheartened, so God gave His prophet Zechariah a vision to encourage them. The message reminded Zerubbabel that progress is made “not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit” (Zech. 4:6).
This same truth applies to us today. Your obstacles may seem like mountains too big to move, and in your own strength, they certainly are. But as a believer, you have the power of the Holy Spirit within you. Although your circumstances may not change, He’ll give you His comfort, joy, peace, patience, and strength to go through it. The Spirit is God’s promise of continual help to His weary people."
If you are in the middle of a hard season, you do not have to face it alone. You can send a prayer request to Solo Faith Church at any time, and every service streams live on our watch page if you cannot make it in person.
Solo Faith Church shares this study because many Concord neighbors are carrying a problem that feels too big to move, and Scripture speaks plainly to that. It connects to the encouragement and prayer we try to offer every week.
