Nehemiah 1-2

NehemiahÕs return to rebuild the walls of < ?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>Jerusalem was due to the good hand of God. All that was needed to rebuild the temple were in place. Nehemiah did not embark on the project without praying to God. Also, as the project continued, GodÕs hand of favor did not stop flowing. Do you have a project coming up for you? It is important to commit every involvement into the LordÕs hand so that His good hand will answer for you. During the construction of the temple, there were all kinds of opposition and the enemies meant to deny the construction of the wall of Jerusalem. There was opposition through ridicule, opposition through threat of attack, opposition through discouragement, and opposition through extortion. When the wall was completed, opposition did not cease. The enemy will never stop working its evil ways. The completion of your project will not discourage your enemy to stop coming after you. The completion of the wall did not stop the enemyÕs continuous attack. Nehemiah 6:15-16, ÒSo the wall was finished on the twenty-fifth day of Elul, in fifty-two days. And it happened, when all our enemies heard of it, and all the nations around us saw these things, that they were very disheartened in their own eyes; for they perceived that this work was done by our God.Ó You would think that the enemy will give up after the completion of your project, but it is not true. It was not true with the wall of Jerusalem, so it cannot be true with your project. After you have completed your project, do not complete your waiting in prayer to God. Keep on waiting and the enemy will continue to fail concerning your project.
