Neh 2:19 When Sanballat the Horonite & Tobiah the Ammonite servant & Geshem the Arab heard of it, they jeered at us & despised us & said, “What is this thing that you are doing? Are you rebelling against the king? Neh4:1-3 Now when Sanballat heard that we were building the wall, he was angry & greatly enraged, & he jeered at the Jews. Neh 6:2 Sanballat & Geshem sent to me, saying, “Come & let us meet together at Hakkephirim in the plain of Ono.” But they intended to do me harm.
—-Did you know that Nehemiah’s main job for the King was to taste his food & drink before the King ate it, as a test to see if it had been poisoned or not! Then God put it on his heart to rebuild the walls of Jerusalem! During this process he was offered other plans, insulted, & planned harm, anything to stop the building of the wall! When you are doing Gods work the enemy will do anything to distract you! We must learn take a page from Nehemiah’s book, persevere! For he finished the wall in record time! Remember ALL things are possible with God! Love Mel
