Nehemiah 6
Inspired thots
Nehemiah stood his ground and continued supervising the work on rebuilding the temple walls despite the threats from the enemy. It is very important to have established a strong and deep relationship with God such that one is discerning over the matters in any circumstance.
The enemy is within and outside; Tobiah is an outsider but related to the Jews through marriage. Sanballat is an outsider who did not want the Jews to unite. He was the big bully hurling taunts and jeers to discourage them from the rebuilding. Even the own Jews were 'bought' over to the enemy's side; Shemaiah and Noadiah were priests and prophets who advised Nehemiah wrongly to bring a stop to the rebuilding but Nehemiah sought the Lord closely in all matters and handled each trying circumstance righteously.
The spirit of discernment and knowledge is so crucial to making the right and godly decisions.
A daily time out with the Lord Jesus, to hear Him speak to ME. I am asking the Lord to share HIS thoughts with ME, to teach me more about Himself, and how I can be drawn closer to Him... for 'His thoughts are not my thoughts and neither are His ways my ways' Isaiah 55:8,9. This blog is not a theological exegesis. This blog is to record down the INSIGHTS & INSPIRATIONS of God's Word to me; speaking LIFE into my life for Abundant life! :)
