Dear Lord, I pray for wisdom for those who work hard and think no one notices. In Jesus’ name, amen.
People are watching.
Nehemiah and those who rebuilt and defended Jerusalem’s wall were observed by the people of nearby nations. From start to finish the reconstruction took only fifty-two days. How could this be?
We learn in Nehemiah 6:16 (ESV) who others thought deserved the credit:
“And when all our enemies heard of it, all the nations around us were afraid and fell greatly in their own esteem, for they perceived that this work had been accomplished with the help of our God.”
Work hard. Achieve results.
Acknowledge where the help comes from. Praise God!
