Let's look at the Old Testament today.
Nehemiah 4:12-15
So it was, when the Jews who dwelt near them came, that they told us ten times, “From whatever place you turn, they will be upon us.”
As I am reading these first verses in this chapter, I stop and think. How many times has God protected me in the midst of rebuilding my life? He has caused me to fortify the broken walls of my life. The walls that hold HIS altar inside of my heart. Which the enemy has been trying to destroy.
The key is not to focus on how many times the enemy has been trying to come and steal, destroy and even kill. But to remember the mighty things God has done !!
14 And I looked, and arose and said to the nobles, to the leaders, and to the rest of the people, “Do not be afraid of them. Remember the Lord, great and awesome, and fight for your brethren, your sons, your daughters, your wives, and your houses.”
15 And it happened when our enemies heard that it was known to us and that God had brought their plot to nothing, that all of us returned to the wall, everyone to his work.
God gives us strategy on how to fight for what is ours:
“Remember the Lord....” and PRAYER, DECLARATION, WORSHIP as well as standing on the promises/word of God.
He has protected us in the past and He will do it again now and in the future. He is the same: yesterday, today and forever! We need to remember the benefits of God.
'Blessed be the Lord, Who daily loads us with benefits, The God of our salvation! Selah' Psalm 68:19
Father, today help us to calm our anxious hearts. Help us to remember who YOU are and not how bad we have it. Lord help us to overcome the plan of the enemy, by cooperating with YOU! Help us to stand on YOU, Jesus. AMEN
That's all for now. So long and remember to leave prayer requests. Thank you.
