October 12

Boy, that passage will preach! So many things, but what stood out to me was first things first and then first things second. We set things in order and leave, but when we come back we have to set things in order again! If we aren’t alert, intentional and vigilant, things go downhill. Nehemiah left and his enemy took residence in the temple where THE TITHES were kept! That is crazy in its application! Have I let someone in, an enemy that is ruining my finances? Lord tell me if I have! Whether or not I have, the fact remains that I can NOT go to sleep in any area of my life, or my family, or my church! That seems a little overwhelming for me, but that just means that I MUST have the strength of my God!
