Perseverance: A Nehemiah Battle PlanWe all have that one thing hanging over our lives that’s been there for a while. It keeps showing up. It sits smack dab in the middle of the room likethe proverbial pink elephant. It could be anaddiction to conquer, a habit to break, goalto accomplish, long-standing project tocomplete, relationship to restore (or toxicone to end), or even a debt to retire. Whatis your one thing? We all have one thing ifnot four. We’ve tried everything and failed.But what if we surrendered that one thingto God for real this time, wholeheartedlypersevering in the strength of the Lord?Perseverance is key ─ persevering inprayer, focus, His resources, and Hisstrength. Observing how Nehemiahaccomplished God’s call to rebuild the wallaround Jerusalem provides helpfulmethods that you and I can deploy in ourown lives to accomplish the extraordinary.The enemy will oppose us at every turn,but Nehemiah demonstrates how you andI can surround ourselves with people whoare committed to God and our success.Nehemiah began with prayer and endedwith praise as God provided theconfidence, resources, and people thatcarried Nehemiah to successfulcompletion. When we apply what weobserve through Nehemiah to our onething, we will begin to see God work inincredible ways in our own lives.
