“So the wall was completed on the twenty-fifth of Elul, in fifty two days. When all our enemies heard about this, all the surrounding nations were afraid and lost their self-confidence, because they realized that this work had been done with the help of our God.”
Nehemiah 7:15-16
It is always a choice to walk in obedience to God. It is our own will, we can trust God and walk in obedience, or we can walk in our own lustful, self-ambitious will. One thing is for sure when we walk in our own desire, at first it seems good but later we will regret for our decision. We will say that ‘he got all these things but I have not got anything.’ ‘God does not love me’ and we get angry on ourselves, with others and with God also. It’s the time now, if we are not satisfied with what we have then may be it is because of our own decision. But the good news is God’s love is available always to all who decide to put their trust on Him. And we can see the difference. Our enemies, who once created trouble for us, they will be afraid and lose their self-confidence because they will know that God is with us. No matter what responsibilities God has given us to do, we can be confident to finish the task. We don’t have to be impatient, but rather trust God and go through every situation. Then only we can see the results that we are victorious only because God is with us. We can do every thing in our life that we could have never accomplished by our own.
