Neh 2:24 -I answered them by saying, “The God of heaven will give us success. We his servants will start rebuilding, but as for you, you have no share in Jerusalem or any claim or historic right to it.”
Big Question: What do u do when u don't know what to do?
Nehemiah was facing some huge obstacles, as he surveyed the massive amount of work to rebuild the city and the dangers of people around. So what do you start with? How do you deal with the dangers? What about the people problems in his own camp? Bit was beyond daunting for a guy who was the wine taster...
So what did he do? He remembered God's faithfulness and focused on the work instead of the world.
Remember: Nehemiah kept replaying what God did to get him there---the favor of God and supplies provided by the king and opportunity available. Remembering God's faithfulness is core to finishing any great work of God. In fact, it's paramount to success.
Focus: for any god-sized job to be done, it will take laser focus on the task. Satan knows how to distract us with threats, pleasure, and disappointments. The only way to overcome is by focus. We must stay driven by the work instead of the world. Most projects fail not from lack of possibility but from lacks if focus.
If u look back---look at God's faithfulness. If u look ahead, look at th work. That helps us know what to do when we don't know what to do.
So if you are trying to discern what God wants you to do---remember & focus. Do the next thing you know to do.
