Morning by Morning, May 12 - Strategically Positioned
Good morning, Lord Jesus. Be at the center of all I am and all I do today. ...
“So in the lowest parts of the space behind the wall, in open places, I stationed the people according to their families, with their swords, their spears, and their bows. After I looked these things over, I stood up and said to the nobles and the officials and the rest of the people, ‘Do not be afraid of them. Remember the Lord, who is great and awesome, and fight for your kin, your sons, your daughters, your wives, and your homes.’
When our enemies heard that their plot was known to us, and that God had frustrated it, we all returned to the wall, each to his work. From that day on, half of my servants worked on construction, and half held the spears, shields, bows, and body-armor; and the leaders posted themselves behind the whole house of Judah, who were building the wall. The burden bearers carried their loads in such a way that each labored on the work with one hand and with the other held a weapon. And each of the builders had his sword strapped at his side while he built. The man who sounded the trumpet was beside me. And I said to the nobles, the officials, and the rest of the people, ‘The work is great and widely spread out, and we are separated far from one another on the wall. Rally to us wherever you hear the sound of the trumpet. Our God will fight for us!’” (Nehemiah 4:13-20)
O God, You fight for us! You reveal the plots of our enemies to us. You give us divine strategies and spiritual insight. You strategically position us for the work of Your Kingdom and for our defense against the schemes of our enemies. We each have place and a purpose.
You do the work and the warfare. And at the same time, You do it through us. You put the tools and the weapons in our hands. Then You put Your Spirit in our hearts to be about our Father’s business, as sons and daughters of our King and faithful disciples of our Lord. “Christ in (us), the hope of glory” (Colossians 1:27).
You position us and prepare us in our spirits to hear “the sound of the trumpet” when it’s time to “rally” for the battles. And You remind us that we have nothing to fear, for our “great and awesome” God will fight for us and give the victory to us. “Thanks be to God, who in Christ always leads us in triumphal procession, and through us spreads the fragrance of the knowledge of Him everywhere!” (2 Corinthians 2:14) In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.
