Does life feel like a construction zone, rough and rocky? We get tired along the way and sometimes we think that we can’t go any further. It’s not always a smooth path, but if it were easy, there would be no learning through these experiences. It’s the times of trial that we learn just how to deal with our circumstances and get a new perspective. It’s a time of building and rebuilding, whether in the physical or emotional sense.
The life of Nehemiah and his experience is
powerful. Have you ever felt like you've been rebuilding your wall just
to have the enemy come and
knock it –or you down? Sometimes you feel it’s too much and you start
hearing those voices telling you that you can’t do it. But there’s
something more powerful that is out there. A fresh new start, and you don't have to do it alone. God is there for us. He is
there to walk with us and to help us, all we have to do is let go, give it to
God and give Him the control of our life.
Isaiah 41:10 says, “Don’t be afraid, for I am
with you. Don’t be discouraged, for I am your God. I will strengthen you
and help you. I will hold you up with my victorious right hand.”
We don’t have to walk this path alone, and we don’t have to do it by
ourselves. Sometimes we feel as if there’s no one else that would ever
understand what we’ve been going through and we tend to take so much on ourselves
that we let it weigh heavy on us. But when we let our Heavenly Father in
on our life, that load becomes a little lighter and our baggage doesn’t seem as
heavy as it once was. Dig into the scriptures and engage in your quite time, then see what you discover. Be still.
In Matthew 11:28 Jesus says, "...come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest."
We have a team as well. Within our church body, our fellow believers, and Christian family whom are there to hold us up and encourage us as we travel these roads along our journey. It's not always going to be easy, and sometimes the road gets rough and discouraging, but when we stick it out and keep going when we want to quit, and don't let discouragement bring us down, we can look forward to the next steps we are supposed to take and how we are to get there. We need to trust God's process. When we put our trust and faith in God...our mind, body, and soul can rest assured that He has got the best planned out for us and He can help us through our struggles to find where we are supposed to be. God puts us in the right place at the right time to bring about His great plan.
Is God calling you to something?
What advice can you share about taking time to be still as we wait and trust the process?
Blessings,

Psalm 24:8 states that, – “Who is the King of glory? The Lord, strong and
mighty; the Lord, invincible in battle.”
Don’t give into those voices of discouragement. Remember, if God is for us, than who can be against us. Don’t give up
hope. Keep on fighting because God is going to do great things in you and
for you. He’s got great plans for his children and He wants to be a part of
your life for eternity.
