“So we built the wall, and the entire wall was joined together up to half its height, for the people had a mind to work” Nehemiah 4:6, NKJV.
Nehemiah had an assignment from God to rebuild the walls of Jerusalem, and he was determined to complete what the Lord had told him to do. To pursue anything in your heart that God has asked you to build, it’s important to have a mind to work. Have a mind of focus. A mind that’s motivated and driven to not let anything or anyone distract, deter, or delay you from doing the work that God has told you to do. Nehemiah had opposition to the point where they even had to work with one hand and a weapon in the other. Yet, they didn’t stop. Your conditions may not be perfect, but don’t stop. They were determined to complete God’s work, and had a mind to press, and I declare so do you. Receive a mind to work today. There’s no room for any other type of mind.
Prayer: Father, I give You praise. Like Nehemiah, I asked that You give me a mind to work. I’m ready. Not a lazy mind. Not a mind of fear, but a mind of faith that I am graced to not only start but finish what You told me do. Give me discipline and endurance. Help me to put aside anything that’s a distraction or delay. Nothing will stop me. Give me a focused mind. I declare I have the mind of Christ. I receive a mind to work today. In Jesus name, Amen!
