Why Should the Work Cease?
Now it happened when Sanballat, Tobiah, Geshem the Arab, and the rest of our enemies heard that I had rebuilt the wall, and that there were no breaks left in it (though at that time I had not hung the doors in the gates), that Sanballat and Geshem sent to me, saying, “Come, let us meet together among the villages in the plain of Ono.” But they thought to do me harm. So I sent messengers to them, saying, “I am doing a great work, so that I cannot come down. Why should the work cease while I leave it and go down to you?” But they sent me this message four times, and I answered them in the same manner. Nehemiah 6:1-4
Nehemiah was not deterred by the voices around him because he was focused on the Voice of the Lord that gave Him his original direction.
We are approaching the end of 2018, but there is still time left.
What did the Lord give you for 2018?
Has it been accomplished?
There is still time.
Don’t focus on the voices around you that are telling you that the year is over and your chance to accomplish those things you have set out to is past.
The Lord has given you a direction; stay focused and keep moving.
Why should the work cease because the voices around you are speaking?
The Lord has given you your directions………keep building!
