"Not by Might, not by power"

"Not by Might, not by power"

"Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit", says the Lord (Zech. 4:6)

Can't believe that I teared so much when I knew about which sch__l teac_ers are coming to test our kids. My heart shattered. I knew that no matter how much I try to prepare, the grades will be marked down. I felt that all hopes all gone. The kids' hopes are gone.

And this verse came to my mind. Perhaps this battle is not about how well I can teach, how much knowledge I have, not about how can I reach my goal, it's about willing this battle by the spirit of God. I SMS Mrs Jo Lim about this, she said that we have to keep in mind that God will reward us in His own way.

On a side note, there was something bitter sweet happened this week. The P6 child Raph had a mind block when we wrote compo. I was so shock because this is not him. He is very talented. And even if he only gives 50% effort, he can still do better than the rest. I kept him after school and asked he why. He said he doesn't know. Instead of nagging, I said immediately, "let's pray!" and I prayed for him. He was tearing profusely when we prayed. I felt that God was with us, I felt that through this, we learnt to depend on God in the midst of failures. I felt touched that I could be there for him with prayers.


Luke 1:37
Nothing is impossible with God

Dear Lord, let me depend on you. Let me depend on you only. Not by might, nor by power. But by You only. Amen
