What's God Saying?

This morning I was reading through the book of Zechariah. But I was not just reading to gain knowledge, but really trying to listen to God. As I was having that private time with God, God showed me though His Word that whatever we accomplish as a church is through God's grace and not by our own strength.

As I contemplated on that thought, I asked myself what difference would that make in my life if I lived as though that was true. First, I would trust God more. I would pray more. Second, I would have more confidence knowing that it was not my effort that brought about change. Third, I would be more patient instead of just trying to make it happen. Finally, I would always give God credit for what is done.

Has God said anything to you lately? If so, what? Are you listening?
