The Power of Negative Thinking

Nehemiah’s reverence for God and compassion for His people gave him the ability to reject anything that would hinder his progress. Alistair Begg teaches that Nehemiah’s practice of prayer prevented him from pride, his dependence on God kept him from cluelessness, and his assurance of God’s calling deterred him from distractions. Similarly, we must reject internal or external threats that interfere with God’s work and calling on our lives.
Scripture: Nehemiah 5:14-6:9
Preached: February 27, 1994

When my children were young, it was impossible to anticipate and plan for everything they asked of me, so at times I told them I'd have to think about it. Although I really did want time to prayerfully consider it before I gave them an answer, they assumed was saying "no" in an unconfrontational way. 😒😮‍💨
