Re:Verse reading–Nehemiah 6:1-16 (day two) So I sent messengers to them, saying, “I am doing a great work and I cannot come down. Why should the work stop while I leave it and come down to you?” vs. 4
You have your assignment. It feels good to know that you are where God wants you to be. You have a purpose and a plan, and then…kids, sickness, distractions, and detractors. Is it supposed to be like this? Don’t we all assume that when we find ourselves in the pocket of God’s plan that it should go off without a hitch? Sounds reasonable, but we were never promised a distraction-free work environment. Moses had a clear assignment, but the Pharaoh didn’t exactly cooperate. Even Jesus had to deal with stubborn, sleepy disciples.
This, however, does not change our assignment. They are distractions, but not derailment. Stay the course. God chose you.
Thanks! What a great reminder!
Thank you, this has happened so many times in my life! You are right God chose me!
