Are You Prepared?
I pray for wisdom for those who need to be prepared for an attack. In Jesus’ name, amen.
Ever learn that someone is out to get you? How did you prepare?
In the fourth chapter of Nehemiah we learn that teams of builders were working on Jerusalem’s wall when word came that opposition forces were plotting to disrupt the construction.
It says in Nehemiah 4:8 (ESV): “And they all plotted together to come and fight against Jerusalem and to cause confusion in it.” The response? Prayer.
Verse 9 says: “And we prayed to our God and set a guard as a protection against them day and night.”
Then, reinforcements – although at first reluctant – arrived. And, equipped with spears, shields, bows, and coats of mail, they prepared to protect the workers.
Are you a wall builder? Are you called to protect others? In whatever capacity, be prepared! Serve with distinction.
