I am sitting here tonight reading about Nehemiah and the building of the wall............ As I read about how the people worked with one hand on the trowel and the other on their sword it brought to mind the many brothers and sisters in Christ that are spreading the gospel in unfriendly places........Such as a friend of mine in India.......... We are not promised an easy road on this path of Christ, but we are promised that He will walk with us.............. I am blessed to live in a country with no persecution (yet) and I sometimes think that the American people are soft and could not withstand the trials that others endure.............. I pray for those tonight such as my friend Chris as he takes the gospel of Jesus Christ to the people of India. With one hand he offers them the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob and with the other hand he defends the onslaught of those that would hinder his work for Christ....He is a present day Nehemiah................ I will lift him up to the Father each day................ I can do that for him................. and that is all powerful in itself........................
Neh 4:17 They which builded on the wall, and they that bare burdens, with those that laded, [every one] with one of his hands wrought in the work, and with the other [hand] held a weapon.

Pray for our brother in Christ as he ministers life to those in India..
I have a wonderful story to tell the ladies that read my blog...... I am putting it together this week and will post this weekend.. It is a beautiful answer to my prayer from many years ago and my prayers today........God is a mover of mountains and just when you think that your time for work in the kingdom of God has passed He opens another door...
In Christ
