—Nehemiah 6:10-19
by: Angie Osborn.
The wall is finished! What a great accomplishment! Distraction after distraction tried to dissuade Nehemiah from continuing, yet he leaned on God for wisdom, strength, and vision. God saw him through-to completion. That brings to mind another verse, Philippians 1:6, "being confident in this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it to completion until the day of Christ Jesus" (NIV). What a promise! Nehemiah had a wall to rebuild and he needed God's strength and guidance; with that, the wall was repaired. God has a plan for each of us, and he will work in us and with us to carry it to completion!
