Nehemiah 6:16 NASB
When all our enemies heard of it, and all the nations surrounding us saw it, they lost their confidence; for they recognized that this work had been accomplished with the help of our God.
Words of Encouragement...
The book of Nehemiah captures the story of the exiled children of God returning to Jerusalem to rebuild their city. While they are doing this all of the people and kings around them kept taunting them and trying to frighten them into stopping the work. However, under Nehemiah's guidance, and his commitment to listen to, and follow his God's leading, they completed the task in 52 days.
This story offers a powerful reminder to us who follow Jesus even today...listen to the leading of God, stay true to His teachings, do not listen to the taunts of those around us (sometimes from those whom sound like they might be representing God), and keep doing the tasks that He has given you. And the results...our enemies will loose their confidence, not because of anything that we have done, but because of what God has done through us.
