Meanwhile, the people in Judah said, “The strength of the laborers is giving out, and there is so much rubble that we cannot rebuild the wall.”

Nehemiah 4 : 10

👿Satan has always been trying to get us to build upon rubbish instead of the ROCK.

👨But the Lord keeps sending men like Nehemiah to remind us to clear the rubbish first!

🗻If it is not built upon the ROCK then it is built upon the "rubbish" and must be cleared so the foundation can be seen and the building process started over!

The rubble  is the wood, hay, and straw Paul was referring to in 1Cor 3:12-13

🌾If anyone builds on this foundation using gold, silver, costly stones, wood, hay or straw, their work will be shown for what it is, because the Day will bring it to light.

1 Corinthians 3:12,13🌾

Wood, hay, and stubble are rubbish. They burn!

Application

Satan will always try to get you and I to build upon the rubbish and miss the sure foundation!

Pride, unbelief, anger, temper, despondence, self-importance, evil desires, is all rubbish!

REMEMBER: the rubbish has to be cleared, and the ROCK (the FOUNDATION) exposed before the re-building can begin!

Willful and intentional sin is a "veil" between you and the Lord that He Himself died to remove?

1. We can't build a decent life "on top" of it!

2. We must "clear it out" and start fresh and new as did Nehemiah!
