I must decrease and He must increase. John 3:30.
Warm fuzzies :).
What are these fears? What are these persistent anxieties that attempt to unsettle? Is praying about them enough to make them go away entirely, or is there something MORE?
How do we press through an attack of discouragement? What if I have prayed and stepped out in faith to follow God and I meet discouragement? All Scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness, so that the man of God may be adequate, equipped for every good work. 2 Timothy 3:16-17.
Nehemiah is a man who did just that. He and his men were making serious progress. They were probably thinking warm fuzzy thoughts when Sanballat and Gershem sent a message,"Come, let us meet together in one of the villages in the plain of Ono." Nehemiah 6:2b.
They also attempted to make up a false report on what Nehemiah was doing and file a complaint against him. (v. 6,7). Sound familiar? Daniel's opponents used the same technique to get him thrown into the lions den.
Warm fuzzies :).
Sounds like a perfect recipe for defeat doesn't it?
Well speaking of perfect recipes I've got one that looks yummy.
