The LORD is their strength, and he is the saving strength of his anointed. (Psalm 28:8)
Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. (Philippians 4:6)

The value of maintaining a correct order of priorities

Nehemiah knew how to set priorities in rebuilding the wall of Jerusalem. He delegated governance to godly men, preserved the city from external attacks, recorded genealogies and lineage, selected spiritually fit priests, and established offerings to continue building God's work. As Christians, we must prioritize our intimacy with the Lord, our dependence on Him, and our surrender to His will.

Comments:

Efigenia Vidal : Thank you God, because you are present in everything. When we walk under the guidance of His Word, He always directs us to what to do, and He also shows us who was responsible for an event, to act with the weapons of the militia, in addition to being diligent, before the action. Pastor Faustino is right in emphasizing that the first thing that shines in the heart is the right thing to do, so He will not shame those who hope in Him. The blessing of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit be with you.
