With One Hand They Worked

With One Hand They Worked .. , And With The Other held A Weapon.

Nehemiah 4:17-21 NKJV

[17] Those who built on the wall, and those who carried burdens, loaded themselves so that with one hand they worked at construction, and with the other held a weapon. [18] Every one of the builders had his sword girded at his side as he built. And the one who sounded the trumpet was beside me. [19] Then I said to the nobles, the rulers, and the rest of the people, “The work is great and extensive, and we are separated far from one another on the wall. [20] Wherever you hear the sound of the trumpet, rally to us there. Our God will fight for us.” [21] So we labored in the work, and half of the men held the spears from daybreak until the stars appeared. 

     When we are born, we come with the idea that whenever you cry, things will come to you. We do that for many years until we find out that tears wont solve life problems. Then we learn to fight. One day, we discover that fight may wound us without solutions. Then we learnt to build. Still others may not let our structures stand. So we learn to fight and build. Judah came to the point of building and getting ready to fight and build. Until you get to that point, you wont build.

    This is a report from my Ai, " The statement "we have to fight and build in life" reflects a common human experience. Life presents challenges that require resilience and effort ("fighting"), while also offering opportunities for growth, progress, and creation ("building"). This dual nature of life is often recognized across various perspectives, including personal growth, spiritual beliefs, and even biblical interpretations". 

     Life involves both overcoming challenges and creating something positive. It suggests a dynamic interplay between resilience and progress, where the battles encountered contribute to the foundation of future successes and achievements. The issues are that you are not alone, and you should not give up. If you do, the world will forget you. So build and be ready to fight on your knees, in prayers and spiritual warfare. 

     Note vv 19 & 20. They tell us about the need for cooperation when the battle gets rough and tough. In the midst of it, don't loose the sight that it is God who fights fo us. Sbd the good news is that, He is on our side. Good morning.
