Charles Spurgeon Commentary Zechariah 10:4

"From him shall come forth the corner-stone, from him the nail, from him the battle bow, from him every ruler together." — Zechariah 10:4 (ASV)

Let us learn from this verse that everything comes from the Lord of hosts, the God of providence as well as of grace.

Those statesmen, who are the cornerstones of the great building of state, must come from him. Those Christian men and women of experience, who seem to be as the cornerstones of our spiritual building, must come from him. Those who are as nails, upon whom weaker Christians seem to hang, come from him. And whoever is, in the day of battle, like God's bow, must also come from him.

For, apart from the Lord, there is no strength, nor power, nor wit nor wisdom, among all his people.

We must learn, then, to lift up our eyes to God, and look to him for all that we need. Whether it be political, social, or religious needs that are to be supplied, all must come from him.
