Lot and his family were in danger of being caught in the destruction of Sodom. When angels told him to leave he kept hesitating and asking questions, yet God in His patience reasoned with him. Might He sometimes do the same with us?
COURAGE FOR THE GLORY OF GOD
What do we do when when intense resistance comes against our work for the Lord? Do we quit or try to compromise? Do we assume God’s not in it? Not Nehemiah. He has courage for the glory of God.
