Be Prepared!

Be Prepared!

I pray for wisdom for those who need to be prepared for an attack. In Jesus’ name, amen.

Ever learn someone is out to get you? How did you prepare?

In the fourth chapter of Nehemiah we learn, 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) says, “And they all plotted together to come and fight against Jerusalem and to cause confusion in it.”

The response? Prayer. And more.

In verse 9 (ESV) it 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 prepared to protect the workers.

Are you a wall builder, or are you called to protect others? In whatever capacity, be prepared! Serve with distinction.

Tell me what you think in the comments below.
