Now therefore, O God, strengthen my hands … Nehemiah 6:9
Nehemiah, who led in the rebuilding of the wall of Jerusalem, refused to give up. He faced insults and intimidation from the enemies all around him as well as injustices from his own people.
Despite the challenges, the wall was completed in 52 days. But Nehemiah’s work was not complete. He encouraged the Israelites to study the Scriptures, to worship, and to keep God’s law.
We all face challenges and difficulties in life. But as God helped Nehemiah, He will also strengthen us!
Remember … Today’s challenges are designed not to break us but to bend us toward God … Leroy
