No Such Things
Nehemiah 6:8 Then I sent unto him, saying, There are no such things done as thou sayest, but thou feignest them out of thine own heart.
Nehemiah replies that all the accusations are untrue. The plan is to sow seeds of doubt and fear into your project. You must be able to reply with the word of God and the truth in your heart … Christ is the truth. Many things will be said that just have no weight – because they are wicked fabrications. Do not accord any gravity to something that does not exist. I have discovered that most of the things we worry about have been sown by evil words into our hearts causing fears, anxieties and tension …only to discover later that …there are no such things.
Ask yourself, what is it that you are concerned with that simply does not exist. What are you forced to give attention to that simply isn’t there …. not worth more than a simple denial “there are no such things”.
If only we could simply respond to all the flooding vendetta, rumors and accusations by declaring “ there are no such things…”
An imagined thought always comes to nothing. Be strong in forging ahead even when many things come to your attention to which you must be firm and politely reply – “ … no such things”
Verses for further meditation
Job 13:4 ; Psalm 101:7
Thoughts for Business and the work place
Leaders have lists. Prioritised to-do lists, urgent matters, important issues etc. One list you will need and learn to use is a “rubbish bin” …. many items belong there.
Suggestions for Prayer
Lord, Help me to prioritise my time and keep my focus on your assignment for me. Amen
As Nehemiah’s wall was built, so will we see a reconstruction in all that may appear in distress and in waste. Nehemiah trusted and feared God, putting his faith in the Almighty whose strength is limitless to exceed all our expectations. Look out daily for Nehemiah’s Wall in 2015 and do invite friends to subscribe to the free email or social media posts.
I am praying someone with a burden to be used by God in building will receive a fresh vision and get the job done.
