God moves on behalf of those who have great courage……..

 

And by courage….I mean FAITH in the Lord.

 

There are many miracles in the Bible—-but perhaps none greater than the one that happened as a result of Nehemiah.

 

Jerusalem was in ruins.

The wall was broken and the gates were unguarded.

The city was a sitting duck for all who would oppose them.

 

But Nehemiah ……..

 

It is always a man (or woman) who stands in faith that changes the world.  He (or she) activates the Living God…..because God moves on behalf of His people.

 

Nehemiah 2  17 Then I said to them, “You see the trouble we are in: Jerusalem lies in ruins, and its gates have been burned with fire. Come, let us rebuild the wall of Jerusalem

 

It sounds all too familiar…..

 

A man sees something in ruins.

 

He prays and asks the Lord for help.

 

He walks out and believes Him who is the author of our lives.

 

Nehemiah got permission from a king.

He influenced a few strong leaders.

He sold a crazy idea to a large group of people.

He influenced individuals to work as a team in a construction project that had no large blueprint.

 

And a wall was built that created a safe haven for those who might DARE to recognize GOD as the King of the Universe.

 

INCREDIBLE….

 

Miraculous…..

 

When people who follow God get together and pray and obey…..walls can be built that will defend our “city”.

 

So I say to you………

 

Do not be dismayed by the decay around you.

 

Stand up.

Pray.

Find your cause.

And build your wall.

 

People acting in great faith do great things….and those things last for an eternity.

Cry out to the Savior of the world and “build your wall” …. whatever that might be.

 

Because our world is crying out for a safe haven….a covering….a place where we do not defile and dishonor and rebel…..

 

Our world is crying out for a Savior…….and He is the only hope we could ever have.

 

In The Name of the Father and the

Son and the Holy Spirit.  Amen.
