The Power of Negative Thinking

Nehemiah’s reverence for God and compassion for God’s 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.
