GREAT AND PEACE FILLED NIGHT TO ALL ... THRIVED THROUGH A TRYING, HARD, ENEMY ATTACK FILLED DAY WHERE THE INDWELLING HOLY SPIRIT CIRCUMVENTED THINGS DONE AND OR SAID, AMEIN!!! Where do you start to rebuild something in your life that’s been broken? ••• Whether you’re trying to rebuild your marriage, family, city, nation, house, career, business, or whatever’s important to you that’s been lost, where can you possibly begin to undertake such an overwhelming project? ♝★✙★♝ The best place to start is where Nehemiah started: he sat down and wept ••• When Nehemiah heard that the people in Jerusalem were in distress and the wall around their city was in ruins, the very first thing he did, before he prayed, before he ran back home, before he lifted even one stone to try to fix it, he sat down and wept. Here’s how Nehemiah says it, as recorded in the Bible: “In the month of Kislev in the twentieth year, while I was in the citadel of Susa, Hanani, one of my brothers, came from Judah with some other men, and I questioned them about the Jewish remnant that survived the exile, and also about Jerusalem. ♝★✙★♝ “They said to me, ‘Those who survived the exile and are back in the province are in great trouble and disgrace. The wall of Jerusalem is broken down, and its gates have been burned with fire.’ “When I heard these things, I sat down and wept”... Nehemiah 1:1. Then pick yourself up after acknowledging the pain and or loss, and keep moving forward, keep building, keep striving; a Saint gets back up! ♝★✙★♝ When something has fallen apart in your life, the best first step you can take toward rebuilding it is to sit down and weep over what’s been lost, to let the depth of the destruction sink deep into your soul ••• Without a full understanding of what’s been lost, it’s very hard to take the steps you need to take to reclaim it ••• But once you grasp what’s happened, along with all of its implications, God can use that understanding to help you take the rest of the steps you need to reverse what’s been done ••• lay it all down at the feet of Christ Jesus ... amein. .✡.•.♝✙♝.•.✡
