SUNDAY, 30 MARCH (Mothering Sunday)
TEXT: NEHEMIAH 6:1-14
TOPIC: NOTHING GOOD COMES EASY
Trials are often based on the nature of one’s responsibility.
In Nehemiah’s case, the opposition came from Sanballat (a Babýlonian living east of the sea of Galilee) and Tobiah (an Ammonite governor of Trans-Jordan).
The reasons for the opposition were mainly political. But their evil scheming did not work and they resolved to using Shemaiah -a friend to Tobiah the priest.
There was also Noadiah (the prophetess) who was used to intimidate and frustrate Nehemiah’s efforts.
QUESTION
Why do you need to persevere like Nehemiah?
PRAYER
Father, help those Christian brothers and sisters in key positions to know that they are called to persevere in their official responsibilities. Amen.
