Nehemiah 6:3-4
And I sent messengers to them, saying, “I am doing a great work and I cannot come down. Why should the work stop while I leave it and come down to you?” And they sent to me four times in this way, and I answered them in the same manner.
A call to get entangled
There was a call to socialize, get diverted, spend time with
worthless companies, as Nehemiah devoted himself to complete the Lord’s work.
Dear sisters, We too very often get diverted, get carried
away, entangled with worldly affairs, as we dedicate ourselves to Lord’s
service. what is that distract us or slow us down from our wholehearted
devotion/service to the Lord:
- Worthless worldly companionship
- Worldly affairs that of no eternal values
- Reputation/approval/fear of man
- Cares and anxieties of the world
Live free from bondage
But scripture clearly says, the children of God should lead
a life of freedom, free from all the worldly bondage that slow us down and
live wholeheartedly to please the Lord!
2 Timothy 2:4
No soldier gets entangled in civilian pursuits, since his aim is to please the one who enlisted him.
1 Corinthians 7:32-33
But I want you to be without care. He who is unmarried cares for the things of the Lord—how he may please the Lord. But he who is married cares about the things of the world—how he may please his wife.
The Lord heard the groans and sighs of the Israelites under
the Egyptian bondage, and delivered them mightily! May we dear sisters, cry
unto the Lord, be delivered of all the bondages, May His truth set us
completely free!!
John 8:32
and you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.
