My child, pay attention to what I say. Listen carefully to my words. 21 Don’t lose sight of them.

Don’t get sidetracked; keep your feet from following evil. Proverbs 4:20-27 (NLT)

The story of Nehemiah… continued.

By Dwayne Lype

Text: Nehemiah 6:1-3 (NLT)

Sanballat, Tobiah, Geshem the Arab, and the rest of our enemies found out that I had finished rebuilding the wall and that no gaps remained—though we had not yet set up the doors in the gates. 2 So Sanballat and Geshem sent a message asking me to meet them at one of the villages in the plain of Ono.

But I realized they were plotting to harm me, 3 so I replied by sending this message to them: “I am engaged in a great work, so I can’t come. Why should I stop working to come and meet with you?”
