Remember the Lord....and then

" Don't be afraid of them...put your minds on the Master... Great and Awesome..then fight." (Nehemiah 4:14)


I can't get away from the story of Nehemiah. We've been studying it in homegroup for several months now, and recently someone preached from it at church. And the story of Nehemiah found it's way into our youth leaders' meeting. In the midst of a very few eventful weeks that i've had in my life, this verse has stayed with me. So i think the Lord is trying to say something to me...and maybe someone else who might just come across my blog.

For those who aren't fimiliar with the story of Nehemiah, in this chapter..they're in the middle of rebuilding the broken down wall, the enemy finds out what they're doing and doesn't like it so he plans to attack. Nehemiah hears about it encourages the people to keep their eyes on the Lord and then fight.

How often do we find ourselves in major battle so surrounded by the situation that we forget who God is and we take our eyes off of Him. There are times when we're facing what seem like giant and we forget how great our God is. He is the Creator of everything. If we can remember who God is and keep our eyes on the Lord, then we can find our strength in Him to keep fighting the battle.
