In Nehemiah 5, after facing lots of challenges and resistance to the work of fortifying the city, the people of God now face a new challenge: the enemy in their midst. Within the family of God, people are taking advantage of one another, relationships look less like mutual sacrificial love and more like using people for their own gain. Let’s take a lesson from Nehemiah and embrace walking in the fear of the Lord. May we yield to His Lordship, so that we can live among His people in the Way of Love He calls us to.
