Just recently, my place of fellowship (Resilient Life Church) was going through a series on Nehemiah. The events of the book are a reflection of our lives as believers, and should be an encouragement to us in the present.<\/p>\n
\u201cBuilding and Defending the Faith\u201d (#48)<\/p>\n
We have a job to do for God, like Nehemiah did on the wall
\nOf Jerusalem-building and adding to the Church of Christ, that like a mountain stands tall.
\nWe cannot remain passive in life like stones set with mortar, hardened into place;
\nWhen man raises challenges against what God is building, we should always be taking up the case.
\nWe never need to be afraid-for our Refuge and strength is the Lord;
\nWe should remain vigilant for any attack, but continue working in one accord.
\nWe should never let opposition stop us from doing what is pleasing to God.
\nWhether fighting or working, we should glorify Him in every step that we trod.
\nSo let us continue in the work we are in, following Jesus wherever He may go;
\nWhether easy or hard be the path, let us follow
\nAnd pray that His Spirit through us would flow.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
