Your life may resemble Jerusalem’s broken down walls and burnt down gates but that doesn’t give you the right to throw in the towel. We all have a little Nehemiah in us and the same God that compelled and propelled him to do something about it, is the same God that’s telling you to start rebuilding!! We are not shameful and beaten down returning exiled remnants! We are sons and daughters of almighty God! I say to you what Nehemiah in said to the Jewish leaders in chp.2 v.17, “You see the trouble we are in: Jerusalem lies in ruins, and its gates have been burned with fire. Come, let us rebuild the wall of Jerusalem, and we will no longer be in disgrace.” We may lose a few battles every now again but rest assured the war has already been won!! When we rebuild the broken down walls and burned down gates in our lives it serves as s sign to the enemy that God ain’t done yet and it helps to encourage others that need to begin the rebuilding process in their own lives!!
There is only One road that leads to eternal salvation, life, and peace with God. I love the way the Message Bible paraphrased John 14:6, “Jesus said, “I am the Road, also the Truth, also the Life. No one gets to the Father apart from me. If you really knew me, you would know my Father as well. From now on, you do know Him. You’ve even seen Him!” There so many debates about this spiritual truth; in fact from the Pharisees and Sadducees perspective this was the main reason they crucified Him. So don’t get all hung up on trying to figure out how this was possible instead read Philippians 2:5-8. Simply put, we serve a God that make impossible things possible and there is no way our mere human comprehension can fully dissect the spiritual complexities of how God does what only He can do throughout history and our present lives today!
