Build the wall.

"Then I said to them, “You see the distress that we are in, how Jerusalem lies waste, and its gates are burned with fire. Come and let us build the wall of Jerusalem, that we may no longer be a reproach” (Nehemiah 2:17 NKJV). Nehemiah trusted none other than the Lord. He needed the work done, and for it to get done fast. There was no need to look for help. Nehemiah trusted that the Lord would gather people to help, everyone that would be found useful to the rebuilding of the walls and gates. God the Father stepped right in, held back the opposition, and brought the laborers right to the wall, ready to do the Father's will. The Holy Spirit will strengthen the hands of those who begin to rebuild what the enemy has broken down. The Father has so much love for His children. He is so faithful to His Word, His wants, and His desires for every believer. He does not look past the affliction of His people, but He puts an ear to their cry. He loves to take care of us and watch over us with affection, hoping all would come to Him with a full heart. He is our guide all the days of our lives. He gives us the living waters that keep us alive in the times of drought. When there is a famine in the land, He is the Bread of Life that comes to sustain us in the times of need. The Lord is the life giver, and all life is given and comes into existence through Him. Look to the Lord, the Maker of Heaven and Earth. See how wonderful He truly is. Seek for His heart and His face, and He will show you the direction your life should go. Nehemiah did not stop working until the work was done. Step up in faith. Let us rise up and build. God will send the laborers. God bless you. Amen
