Dealing with Adversity

” Hear us O our God, for we are despised.
Turn their insults back on their own heads”.
Nehemiah 4:4
No matter how we try to walk upright before the Lord and try to treat others with love and respect, there will always be someone who will ridicule us for being different than them. Because of Nehemiah and the Jew’s effort to restore the walls of the city in Jerusalem, Sandballat the governor of Samaria tried to use scare tactics to get them to stop because he wanted to claim the city for himself. The Jews met with many oppositions and unseen dangers by those from without who didn’t want them for neighbors, but they did not become discouraged or quit. They held on to their faith in a God who had proven to them Time and again that God was their refuge and strength and a very present help in times of trouble (Psalm 46:1). Thus the Jews finished building the walls of the city and built an altar to give thanks to God for all He had done for them (Nehemiah 12:27).
“The Lord is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer;
my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler,
and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower”.
Psalm 18:2

About the Book
Devotional Guide was written with Scripture references to help those who are struggling with various conflicts, whether in their own lives or someone they may know who might need a little guidance on how to biblically deal with conflicts that may arise in their lives. Sometimes life can throw us such a curve that spins us out of control, but it is during these dark times that it is important to know that God is bigger and more powerful than our problems, and with God’s help, we can be victorious in the mist of our conflicts.
