Christian Perspectives - Don't Let the Enemy Stop the Work God Gave You


Don't Let the Enemy Stop the Work God Gave You

Greetings Reader

Have you ever allowed discouragement to make you question something God called you to do?

While Nehemiah and the people rebuilt Jerusalem's wall, Tobiah mocked their work. He claimed that even a fox walking across the wall would cause it to collapse.

Think about that for a moment. A fox is incredibly light on its feet. Yet the enemy used an absurd statement to try to discourage God's people and stop their work.

The enemy still uses discouragement today.

He tells us we can't do it. We're not qualified. Our efforts aren't accomplishing anything. We might as well quit.

But Nehemiah didn't stop building.

In today's devotion, we'll look at how Nehemiah responded to opposition and what we can learn from him about completing the work God has placed in our hands.

Don't Let the Enemy Stop the Work God Gave You

God Bless,

Written In The Lamb's Book Of Life Greetings Reader It has been my goal to write a devotion on each of the Psalms. As I got further into this journey, two things occurred to me. First, there are 150 of them! Second, some of them are much harder to write about than others. Psalm 87 is one of those Psalms. It has no dramatic storyline or obvious crisis. But as I read it, one thing caught my attention: God keeps a record of those who belong to Him. When the Lord registers the nations, he will...

When Life Feels Unfair: Trust in God’s Righteous Judgment Greetings Reader Have you ever looked at a situation and thought, “This just isn't right”? Sometimes the wicked seem to prosper while innocent people suffer. We pray, wait, and wonder why God hasn't done something about it. Psalm 94 reminds us of something we need to remember when life feels unfair: God sees, God knows, and God will act. The Lord will not reject his people; he will not abandon his special possession. Psalm 94:14 God...

Does the Old Testament Law Still Apply Today? Greetings Reader If Christians are saved by grace through faith in Jesus Christ, what purpose does the Old Testament law still serve? Did Jesus do away with it, or does it still have value for believers today? In Galatians 3, the apostle Paul explains how God's promise and His law work together. The law was never meant to replace God's grace. Instead, it reveals our need for a Savior and points us to Jesus Christ. If you've ever wondered how the...
