Gratitude (part I)
The topic of gratitude is extremely important and one that we probably don’t stress enough. As a new disciple you want to get into some good habits of gratitude. Being thankful to God for your salvation is really just the beginning. Being grateful for every situation you find yourself in is the goal. In the study, we will look at God’s call be thankful.

Gratitude is a commandment of God
  • Hebrews 12:28-29 - Be grateful you are a part of such an awesome Kingdom
  • Colossians 2:6-7 - Our thankfulness should be an obvious part of our life (overflowing)
Gratitude has always been an important part of worship
  • Nehemiah 12:31 - God assigned two choirs, solely for the purpose of giving thanks
  • Psalms 28:7 - Gratitude must be seen in our singing to God (Colossians 3:15-16)
  • Psalms 100:1-5 - All parts of worship should be entered into with thanksgiving


Opposition

Sanballat was very angery when he learned that we were rebuilding the wall. "What does this bunch of poor, feeble Jews think they're doing?" - Nehemiah 4:1-2

Spiritual opposition often confirm that you are headed in the right direction in your life of faith

Nehemiah endured this kind of opposition as he worked to rebuild the ruined city walls around Jerusalem

Sanballat did everything he could to thwart Nehemiah's work

  1. He mocked and ridiculed the Jews
  2. He turned to the shraper weapons of fear, entrapment, and political maneuvering

The main question is not whether such opposition will appear but how you will respnd when it arrives

Will you choose discouragement or strengthen your sense of resolve?

Where Credit is Due

They realized this work had been donw with the help of our God - Nehemiah 6:16

Nothing keeps a man's feet on the ground like remembering that everying blessing he has comes from the hand of God

Nehemiah understood the importance of giving God the credit in all things

Order of events:

  1. Nehemiah learned of the city's wall condition
  2. He sprang into action
  3. He surveyed the problem
  4. Prayed about it
  5. Came up with a plan to rebuild the walls
  6. Reconstructed he the wall in 52 days

Nehemiah knew when he gave God the credit that the swiftness of the rebuilding project would be a warning to Jeruslem's enemies

There is no self-made men - only men who recognize the God who made them

What good thing is God doing in your life right now? Have you given him the credit?

Pray, Plan, Act

We will start rebuilding this wall - Nehemiah 2:20

God gives men the vision, the faith, and the ability to get things done - we must act on what we know

Nehemiah first realized Jerusalem's walls needed rebuilding:

  • Bathed his vision in prayer
  • Planned with counsel
  • Acted in faith

He knew he was faced with a daunting task:

  • Long hours of hard work
  • Neighbors with outspoken opposition

Nehemiah approached the work with absolute confidence simply because God called him to the task

Has God given you a vision of something he wants you to accomplish?
