Nehemiah 4

Good Morning “Standing United.”  Today we are in Nehemiah 4.

United we stand, divided we fall!  That moto is not from Scripture but does carry some Biblical principle.  In this chapter we see an example of just that.  Anytime Gods people endeavor to carry out His will the evil one is threatened.  When he is threatened, he attacks.  Therefore; if we are going to live obediently, we ought to expect attack.  Never fear though - God is bigger (1 Peter 5:6-11, 1 John 4:4)

Judah was successful because they stood together, united with God.  We too are united with Christ, His Holy Spirit in us - Greater than the evil one.  Our world is constantly at odds with one another - divided.  Liberal / Conservative, Democrat / Republican , Ford / Chevy… etc.  Guess what, Satan loves it.  In fact he does what he can to constantly fuel the fire.  

“For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places.” Ephesians‬ ‭6‬:‭12‬ ‭

Realize we aren’t fighting against each other.  United in Christ, guided by His Word, we CAN stand together.  Maybe we can even see past the differences of opinion fueled by the evil one and love them like Jesus did.  Yes, as salt we stand, then; as light we love (Matthew 5:13-16)

“Jesus said to them, “It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners.” Mark 2:17

Love you all!  Dig in!
