Hello Everyone,

Nehemiah Stood his ground Against the Enemy.

v. 10 When Sanballat the Horonite and Tobiah the Ammonite official heard about this, they were very much disturbed that someone had come to promote the welfare of the Israelites.

Once you set your heart on accomplishing what God has put in your heart to do there's no looking back, and no fearing the enemies the devil will put in your path.

The world will not be your cheerleader! A lot of opposition will rise up if you want to go forward in your life!

ill.--a lady told a pastor she had never met up with the devil. He said, "Maybe you're both heading in the same direction!"

If you never have opposition from the devil, it may be because he's got you right where he wants you!

When you say, "Let us rise up and build" the devil will raise up some to blast! Fire up your soul against all enemies and keep your eye on the goal and don't give up for nothing!

Two frogs fell into a deep cream bowl,

One was an optimistic soul;

But the other took the gloomy view,

"I shall drown," he cried, "and so will you."

So with a last despairing cry,

He closed his eyes and said, "Good-bye."

But the other frog, with a merry grin

Said, "I can't get out, but I won't give in!

I'll swim around till my strength is spent.

For having tried, I'll die content."

Bravely he swam until it would seem

His struggles began to churn the cream.

On the top of the butter at last he stopped

And out of the bowl he happily hopped.

What is the moral? It's easily found.

If you can't get out -- keep swimming around!

Nehemiah had a cushy life, but God put a great vision for more in him, and he allowed it to galvanize his heart, and he wouldn't let go or give in until those walls were built!

Greater Things Are Still To Come!
