DEVOTION: They replied, "Let us start rebuilding." So they began this good work. But when Sanballat the Horonite, Tobiah the Ammonite, and Geshem the Arab heard about it, they mocked and ridiculed us. "What is this you are doing?" they asked. Are you rebelling against the king? I answered them by saying, "The God of heaven will give us success. Nehemiah 2:18-20
How many times have you heard of people mocking believers for taking a stand in their faith? How many times have you seen God do something so unbelievable and beyond explanation that it only could have been the hand of God that did it? How many times have you prayed for something you thought was impossible only to find that with God ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE!
These guys in our reading mocked Nehemiah and the rest of the Jews for trying to rebuild the wall. But guess what, it got done in record time! They laughed, but God wasn't laughing!
There may be something in your life right now that you think is impossible or that you have no idea how to deal with. Have you given it up to God in faith? Have you asked God to deal with it? Have you asked Him to do His will in it? Why not? Get on your knees! Ask God! If it is His will he will do it!
Let us pray: Lord God, do whatever needs to be done in my life today to show your power and presence. Amen.
