Nehemiah 4 - rebuilding the walls of Jerusalem

It's the season of rebuilding. As I read the book of Nehemiah, I can't help but marvel at what God can do through Nehemiah, who renounced his life of luxury in the courts of King Artaxerxes, travel back to Jerusalem to rebuild the walls of Jerusalem. In Nehemiah 4, the enemies of the Israelites mocked at their idea of rebuilding the wall, saying what's the use of having walls when the city is in ruined? But God has other plans. As we can see, the enemies were flabbergasted. They lost their confidence and recognised that this work was accomplished through the help of their God. The people of Israel were focused on doing what they came for, rebuilding the walls of the city. Likewise, God has a purpose of planting this passage in my heart. God wants me to rebuild lives that were broken. I believe God has given me the necessary tools to do His work in YMM. It is time to do what is timely, for there are words that needs to be heeded. God wants us to be faithful to Him. Nehemiah 4:20 says, "At whatever place you hear the sound of the trumpet, rally to us there. Our God will fight for us." If God is for us, who can be against us?
