Nehemiah6:9-They were all trying to frighten us, saying, “Their hands will be to weak for the work, that it not be done.But now I pray strengthen my hands.
Sometime we answer God’s call to build a ministry, an outreach,a business, a project or faith.We see the vision and get excited.And like Nehemiah we begin the process of building this vision.But then we hear internal chatter or the voices of others saying, “Can you really do this?”Who do you think you are?”or”This is to hard”or”You will never make it.Just stop.”Those words of intimidation comes from the enermy- the one who longs to see the plans of God fail.
Nehemiah knew the plans God had for him- but so did his adversaries. Sanballet,Tobias and Geshem.They went to great lengths to intimidate and frustrate Nehemiah, but their efforts fell short.Why?Because their eyes weren’t on God and Nehemiah’s were.
With a focus on God Almighty, we can build as he call us to build.We can overcome intimidation and other spoils thrown at us from evil.
Never underestimate the power of people and the lesson of people in the Bible.
They Bible offers us powerful lessons that can help us grow in faith and bring Glory to God.
Don’t be intimidated by people who want to break you down,just focus on building your faith in God.
God has a great plan for your life.Keep trusting Him.Give you plans to God not to man.
God has called you to build in his Kingdom.
Trust Him
God Bless
