Today I will rely entirely and wholly on God’s power, always seeking to be a true voice and witness, but never basking in my own, feeble abilities, however grand they may appear to me.
1 Corinthians 2:4
When I talked with you or preached, I didn’t try to prove anything by sounding wise. I simply let God’s Spirit show his power.
Contemporary English Version
Plainly God’s purpose was that your faith should not rest upon man’s cleverness but upon the power of God.
Phillips
Then he said, “This is God’s message to Zerubbabel: ‘Not by might, nor by power, but by my Spirit, says the Lord Almighty—you will succeed because of my Spirit, though you are few and weak.’
Living Bible
Today I will be drawn to God’s altar by the power of the Resurrection, not by my genius.
Photo interpretation: We tend to associate God’s power with great, sometimes frightening, images like lightening or huge ocean waves. In a quieter way, God’s power is also revealed in the silent process of nature’s growth.
