HELPLESS?

Sometimes we feel helpless in our battle with evil and its darkness. The enemy will lie to you and confuse you until you give up trying. It seems we are outnumbered... but... God plus one person, to do His will, is always victorious. We feel we are the only one fighting the battle. That is what happened to Elijah, then he ran into the desert and waited for the end.

God understood his human limitations. God gave him food and rest. Nehemiah talked the king into sending him home to rebuild the walls. The enemy who was present first laughed at him for even trying. Then the laughter got serious. Nehemiah used the local people still living there to build the wall. It was the shopkeepers, the craftsmen, and their families. All they were responsible for was the wall that stood behind their shop. We too are only responsible for what influence we have locally. Stay in the fight.
