God's Great Wall....and other Great things.

After a long task filled week at school, I found it really hard to kinda focus on God a lot. But from what I did read really changed my idea of God's greatness.

Nehemiah a member of the tribe of Judah really shows that with God all things are possible. Nehemiah was called by God to rebuild the walls of Jerusalem which had been devastated by a fire. Although Nehemiah knew that what he was about to do looked nearly impossible and ...he knew that with God by his side something amazing would happen. And it sure did with the help of many people he was able to rebuild the walls in 52 days, which stood at 1.5 square miles. With this hard devoted work Nehemiah was able to reform Israel and reestablish God's trust in Israel.

Now you may be asking right now "What does this have to do with my life?" Well it is a fine example of how God came through with his will and that there was no need to worry. Nehemiah could have easily looked at God and said "No way that is impossible" but he had faith and God was able to do great things with him. Now as Christian we should be able to put our entire trust in God because it will be the best overall thing for our lives. Now I can agree with a lot of people that it is not easy...we often have situations in our lives were we simply force ourselves to get things done on our own, but with God's trust we can be assured that his Great Plan for us and all the Great Things he plans for us to do is being fulfilled.

Now my challenge this week is to put all my trust in God because I know that my life will come much easier with God looking over my shoulder. I will be praying for every Christian that they will be able to do the same.

God Bless,
