Nehemiah 6: 1-14
The work don't go smoothly. Nehemiah was to rebuild the wall and opposition come.
They come in three ways - calling you away from the main task; they threaten you with false accusation and lastly through "personal" deception.
The focus of your work is for the Lord, but that has and should not be taken away by the concern and worries.
I am too eager in reaching the target, but let the Lord strengthen the process, so that you may know it is the Lord has blessed.
Opposition come so, that we may pause for a while, that we may come back to God. I have been so busy, that I have push God aside. Like what Nehemiah cried - strenghten my hands.
Passive confrontational - Nehemiah received threathen - he knew not to go into enemies land. And when the enemies put up false accusation, Nehemiah rebuke strongly and did not let the accusation go about as if nothing has happen and don't bother - this is something I have to learn. Even though they are false - I cannot let them go around -without doing anything - being passive and hope that everything can just go away.
The worse kind is deception that come from your own friends. I pray that I may see that and let not to fall prey. Its not about kindness, but knowing righteousness, doing what is right rather what is good. this is my weakness.
As I was doing my personal life map - Lord I ask - where is the sphere of influence - I don't see you putting me in any leadership position, so where are you leading me. Am I just on my own, or what plan you have for me.?
Place me out of my current situation. Amen
