Prayer and Dependance

From: Christian Treasury: Volume 1

Zechariah 4:10

What made Elijah the mighty man he was? It was prayer, preceded by deep exercise concerning the condition of things around him. He walked in conscious dependance upon God. This surely is available to believers at any time. Sometimes we excuse ourselves for lack of success by saying, it is a "day of small things." Zech. 4:10¹⁰For who hath despised the day of small things? for they shall rejoice, and shall see the plummet in the hand of Zerubbabel with those seven; they are the eyes of the Lord, which run to and fro through the whole earth. (Zechariah 4:10). Perhaps we should say. "It is a day of small men."
