Nehemiah 6
How Nehemiah faced opposition and threats both to his work in Jerusalem and his life, is really amazing. He stood resolved that God will give him victory and will protect his life. He didn't waiver under intimidation, fear, doubts, discouragement. Instead, He put His trust in the Lord.
"Now strengthen my hands", he prayed.
He also did not sin by running away, nor by revenging against his enemies. His strength was the Lord.
When finally Nehemiah completed the walls in 52 days, the surrounding nations became convinced that he accomplished his work with God's help. They lost their self-confidence. God was glorified!
Lord, when at the end of every project in HOPE, people stand back to evaluate our work, may they always say, "What you have done is because of the Lord's help!" Help us not to set humanistic goals, but goals worthy of your name. We love you Lord. Amen.
"How can I repay the Lord for all his goodness to me? I will lift up the cup of salvation and call on the name of the Lord. I will fulfill my vows to the Lord in the presence of all his people." Psalm 116:12-14
