TFPC EM NEWSLETTER - JANUARY 19, 2022
Wednesday, January 19, 2022 at 9:15AM In the Face of Opposition
Today is January 19, 2022
Welcome to your mid-week!
When Nehemiah and God's people started to rebuild the broken wall around Jerusalem, they were faced with opposition. Psychologically,
their insecurities were attacked,
their hope was attacked,
their faith was attacked,
their ability was attacked, and
their accomplishments were attacked.
When going in the direction God wants you to go, you should expect opposition. Spiritual warfare is real and Satan would love it if you were to just give up.
But what Nehemiah teaches us is that, when faced with insecurity, doubt, mistrust, and past failures, we should pray. We should reconnect with our maker and be reminded of his great power and his amazing love for us. How, as Romans 8:31 tells us, if God is for us, who can be against us?
Our identity is not found in what we have or have not done. Nor is our worth based on what we have or have not accomplished.
God loves us and views us worthy to be saved. That is God's amazing love for us that while we were still sinners Christ died for us. In turn, we must simply be faithful with the good work God has prepared for us to do. To continue to do the good work in the face of the spiritual opposition that we face.
God's blessing upon you as strive forward doing the good that God has called you to do, and I look forward to worshipping with you this Sunday.
