Today is Wednesday, February 12, 2020 and here is your Daily Devo.
Nehemiah led the people to remember the God on their side, which would encourage the Jews to stand strong for those around them, for their countrymen and their families. Similarly, this is what it means to be the body of Christ. Jesus leads the church as its head, and as believers know and follow their great God and Savior, they fight for the wellbeing of their brothers and sisters in Christ, pursuing their holiness and encouraging them in the fight against sin. They also join together for the Great Commission, which is beyond any human ability to accomplish. Led and strengthened by the Spirit of Christ, Christians don’t fight against their enemies but share the gospel with them to turn enemies into family members. Regardless of these overwhelming challenges before us, Jesus, our great leader, has promised to be with us, so let us overcome our fear and act with courage for the sake of the gospel.
Think about this: How does this story challenge the perception that Christianity is merely a set of beliefs to be held and not a life to be lived? How does this story encourage us with the truth that God is with us as we seek to live out our Christian beliefs?
