Greetings and thank you for joining us today. It is always a joy to come to you and spend these few moments in God’s word and prayer. This week, we are reflecting on God’s word that promise us good success in the work each one of us have been assigned to do. We look at Nehemiah today. Nehemiah chapter 2, verse 20, Nehemiah says, ‘So I answered them, and said to them, “The God of heaven Himself will prosper us; therefore, we His servants will arise and build, but you have no heritage or right or memorial in Jerusalem.”’ We know that Nehemiah because of the stirring in his heart and the passion he had for his home city of Jerusalem, was given this assignment to build the walls of the city of Jerusalem. As he goes back, it is not an easy task that he has because he immediately faces opposition from people who didn’t want him to succeed. They tried to put road blocks, hindrances on his path but look at the words of Nehemiah here. What does he say? He says, the God of heaven, He will prosper us and so we His servants will arise and build and you’ve got nothing to do with this. Look at the confidence that Nehemiah has in God. He says, God will cause us to be successful, God will prosper us so we are going to work, we are going to put our hands to this and go forward. It doesn’t matter what people say or their intentions are, or what they attempt to do to try to obstruct, hinder and cause problems, it is ok, we have got no part in this because what you do is immaterial when the God of heaven Himself is causing us to proposer and succeed. As we read the book of Nehemiah, that is exactly what happens. A lot of people try to come to stop and hinder the work but Nehemiah and the people, they just press on knowing that the God of heaven will prosper them and they get the work done. That is how we should be, that knowing and having the guarantee in our hearts that our God will cause us to be successful in whatever He has given for us to do and the responsibilities that we have in the work that we do, God will prosper us and so we put our hands to work, expecting good success.
Let us pray, Father, we thank you that just as you prospered Nehemiah in his day, you will prosper us in our day and ensure that we have good success in the work we do, in Jesus’ name, Amen.
