Focused

In this G4G devotional, Stephanie looks at Nehemiah 6 and the powerful statement, “I am doing a great work and I cannot come down.” Nehemiah’s enemies tried to distract him from rebuilding the wall of Jerusalem, but he recognized what God had called him to do and refused to lose focus. Stephanie explores the difference between simply being focused and knowing what is truly worth focusing on. In our busy lives, we can become distracted by good things and lose sight of the most important things—our relationship with Jesus, time in God’s Word, prayer, family, and serving others. This devotional encourages us to develop the discernment to recognize distractions and confidently stay focused on the work God has given us.
