August 27: And now, O Lord GOD, thou art that God, and thy words be true, and thou hast promised this goodness unto thy servant. 2 Sam. 7:28
The holy spirit is "the spirit of the truth;" and God's Word is truth! God explained this to Zerubbabel, saying, "Not by an army nor by force but by my spirit [the spirit of the Truth—the spirit or influence of God given through his exceeding great and precious promises, etc.—the olive trees—(2 Pet. 1:4) the Word], saith Jehovah of hosts. Who art thou, O great mountain before Zerubbabel? Thou shalt become a plain, and he shall bring on the headstone with shoutings of, Grace, grace unto it." R1491
