Rebuilding the temple

I am reading through Zechariah and was struck by Zechariah 4v7 this morning:
"What are you, O mighty mountain? Before Zerubbabel you will become level ground."
Zechariah is prophesying to encourage the apathetic people of Jerusalem to complete the rebuilding of the temple - "Not by might, nor by power, but by my Spirit, says the Lord Almighty".

Sometimes when I try to pray about our rebuilding project I can feel daunted by the hugeness of the project and the obstacles and problems that arise, but reflecting on this passage I was challenged to remember the abundant power of the spirit of the Lord that he can flatten the mountains, and make all things are possible!
