"Then I told them of the hand of my God which was good upon me; as also the king's words that he had spoken unto me. And they said, Let us rise up and build. So they strengthened their hands for this good work."
Nehemiah 2:18 KJV
Ever get the feeling there is something aggressively opposing your very existence? Well, in reality, you had no opposition to your existence until you began to walk in the Lords purpose for your life. Now that you have said yes to God, your circle has gotten smaller, you gained insight and wisdom and stopped sharing information with all of your friends because when you did, you found that they really weren't your friends at all!
Well, in light of all these revelations, You have decided to walk alone but, is that really the path God has set for you? My answer is no! Some seasons in God you will have to journey alone or with a faithful few, but the Lord always brings people in line with the purpose and will he has for your life.
Like in this scripture above, in verses 10-17, Nehemiah had been given an assignment to rebuild not only the walls of Jerusalem, but to restore hope to the people. His yes caused some snakes and vipers to rear their ugly heads to try and disrupt the purpose and plan of God, but Nehemiah, says the scripture,
".... arose in the night, I and some few men with me; neither told I any man what my God had put in my heart to do at Jerusalem: neither was there any beast with me, save the beast that I rode upon."
Nehemiah 2:12
He got up at night with a "Few Men" and surveyed the assignment, calculated the situation in secret with only those he could trust. See you are not required to perform the task God has given you alone, he has already prepared your help to bring his vision to pass.
Regardless what the naysayers and the critics have to say or think, do what you must in secret, but know that God has prepared your help so when you have calculated and wrote the vision, begin to cast to those that God has released you to and watch them "strengthen their hands for this good work."
