Don't Stop the Work

Jul 13, 2025    Pastor Carl

The Book of Nehemiah teaches us a powerful lesson about perseverance in the face of opposition. As we strive to do God's work, we're reminded that favor often comes with foes. Nehemiah's unwavering commitment to rebuilding Jerusalem's walls despite ridicule, threats, and attempts to derail the project serves as an inspiration for us today. We're called to 'don't stop the work' - to continue in our divine purpose regardless of the obstacles we face. This narrative encourages us to stay close to God, discerning His voice amidst conflicting advice, and to pray fervently while also planning strategically. It's a reminder that our work for God's kingdom matters, even when others try to diminish its significance. As we face our own 'Sanballats' and 'Tobiahs', let's hold fast to the truth that God is on our side, providing the strength and resources we need to complete His work.
