Nehemiah and his men were busy at work rebuilding the walls of Jerusalem to protect it against their enemies. In the process, regular troublemakers Sanballat, Tobiah and their gang showed up trying to distract them from their assignment. Oftentimes, it’s this way in our daily lives. God may reveal your purpose to you and even give you instructions to fulfill the vision that He’s assigned you to be busy on [whether it appears to be on a large or small scale].
However, oftentimes you may find that the enemy will try to send distractions your way to get you off course or to cause you to abandon the vision all together. Don’t quit or lose focus though; the Greater One lives inside of you. Commit today to have razor focus on what God has assigned to you. Take on the same attitude that Nehemiah and his men had: “why should the work stop while I leave to come down to meet you?” Don’t come down to the enemies level or allow him to waste your time or energy. The work that God has called you to is much too important. Stay focused on what He has called you to and keep your spirit man built up throughout the day. You’ve got this with His help!
