Hello Everyone,

¹¹ Also our enemies said, “Before they know it or see us, we will be right there among them and will kill them and put an end to the work.”

¹² Then the Jews who lived near them came and told us ten times over, “Wherever you turn, they will attack us.” [Neh. 4:11-12].

The enemy planned a surprise attack. "We are going to take them when they are not looking for us."

What will be Nehemiah's strategy against a surprise attack?

¹³ Therefore I stationed some of the people behind the lowest points of the wall at the exposed places, posting them by families, with their swords, spears and bows. [Neh. 4:13].

Nehemiah put every man in the position where he could defend his own family, which made him more comfortable when he was building.

With his family at home, and away from him, a builder did not know whether or not they were safe. So Nehemiah put them with their families and armed them.

Our first priority our main job on this earth is to take care of our family. I am not just talking about providing food, shelter, and necessities of life, but also providing for them spiritually.

This includes loving and nurturing, but also training them, leading them to church to learn about their Creator...the one we all will face someday!

Greater Things Are Still To Come!
