I answered 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.”
Nehemiah 2:20
“The God of heaven will give us success.” We already looked earlier at Acts 5:38-39 where it says, “If their purpose or activity is of human origin it will fail. But if it is from God, you will not be able to stop these men; you will only find yourselves fighting against God.”
What a great truth. If what we are doing is from God, he will give us success. If it is not, then we are headed for trouble.
Reflect on this in your own life. Is the purpose or activity you are involved in from God? Or is it from your own heart, or from another person’s vision? If it is of human origin it will fail. If it is from God it can’t be stopped. Give your plans to God and ask him to help you know what he is calling you to do.
Pray for us at Crossroads, that in all we do we seek God, and seek to do his will! That way if anyone criticizes or resists us, they will only find themselves fighting against God!
