If you do and break printing, the only option we have left is to re-image your machine and you may lose photos and documents. We will post when it is O.K. to upgrade.

DEVOTIONAL
Don’t Go It Alone
So he said to me, "This is the word of the LORD to Zerubbabel: 'Not by might nor by power, but by my Spirit,' says the LORD Almighty. Zechariah 4:6
Zerubbabel was called to rebuild the temple. It was a huge undertaking, so God told him, ‘“It is not by force nor by strength, but by my Spirit,” says the LORD...“Nothing, not even a mighty mountain, will stand in Zerubbabel’s way”’ (vv. 6-7). When God calls you, you need to know: 1) You may have to walk alone. When God uses you, people often assume you’re strong and don’t need anything. They don’t realize you’re just a regular person who’s half scared to death at times, and who’s more amazed by your success than they are. And when nobody stands with you or ministers to you, you become vulnerable to discouragement. 2) You need God’s help or you’re in trouble. Samson discovered this: ‘He awoke from his sleep and thought, “I’ll go out as before and shake myself free.” But he did not know that the LORD had left him. Then the Philistines seized him’ (Judges 16:20-21). God stepped back and let Samson see that it was the Lord doing it, and not himself. So you must live with a sense of dependence on God. 3) It’s God’s power, not yours, that makes the difference. If you’re waiting for God to give you exceptional equipment before you decide to get into the fight, you’re not going to experience victory. God’s ‘strength is made perfect in weakness’ (2 Corinthians 12:9). The way you know you’re truly anointed is when God takes substandard equipment and performs supernatural feats. And that only happens when you say, ‘Lord, I don’t see how You could do this through me, but I’m trusting You to.’ That’s when He gets involved!
Prayer
Heavenly Father, thank You for all that You do through me, in spite of me. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
