Charles Stanley Daily Devotional TOPIC: Tools for Overcoming Distractions
Today’s Scripture: Nehemiah 6:15-16
As we saw yesterday, distractions have the potential to get us off track. But Scripture gives us a role model to emulate. Nehemiah shows us the value of:
- Single-mindedness. Nehemiah was a God-fearing man who conscientiously applied himself to the Lord’s work. Likewise, when we set our attention on God’s plan, our mind will stay fixed, regardless of the difficulties.
- Obedience. The Lord wants to show us His favor; His blessing is always upon us when we are obedient to Him. This knowledge should bring us confidence in hard times, just as it did for Nehemiah.
- Accountability. Apparently pleased with progress reports, the king let Nehemiah go back to Jerusalem (Nehemiah 13:6-7). One day when we stand before our King, we’ll want Him to be pleased with the way we used our resources and gifts (1 Corinthians 3:12-15).
- Consistency. The Israelites were helpless to stop their opponents’ taunts. So Nehemiah prayed, and the people received strength to continue. Ongoing prayer is essential for us as well.
When we follow Nehemiah’s example, God can accomplish great things in and through us. Which of the points from today’s devotion can help you overcome what is distracting you?
